How To Attract Fairies CREATE A FAIRY GARDEN
A sure way to attract magical fairies into your garden is to create a magical miniature fairy garden of any size to invite the fairies into your garden and show the magical wee fae that you believe in fairies! Fairies are peaceful yet mischievous magical folk that like to frolic and dance in your garden. Playful fairies are often responsible for knocking over your garden decor and trampling your miniature garden plants when you're not watching. Miniature fairies sure know how to throw a good party and they're happy to bring good luck and prosperity into your garden.
Sweet Offerings to the Fairies
In times of olde, peasants would leave magical offerings of sweets like miniature cakes to attract benevolent fairies into their herb gardens. While it may not be practical to leave food out in your garden in modern times, you can appease a modern fairy's sweet tooth by planting succulent sweet flowers like honeysuckle in your garden.
Fairy Bells & Chimes
Place miniature bells and fairy wind chimes in your miniature fairy garden to hear them magically tinkle as fairies pass by your enchanted garden. Fanciful fairies enjoy music and dancing and will be drawn to the delightful tinkling of bells and wind chimes.
Miniature Water Features
Attract water fairies and sprites to your fairy garden by creating miniature ponds, streams, fountains or other enchanted water features to your garden. Fairies enjoy the magical properties of water and will be attracted to any of your miniature water features! Fairies will be splashing about and frolicking with their amphibian friends in no time!
Magical Fairy Dust
Add sparkling glitter to your fairy houses and paths. Fairies are naturally attracted to sparkling items and will transform your ordinary glitter into magical fairy dust.
Magical Fairy Paths and Pathways
Enchant your magical garden with miniature paths for fairies to frolic and follow throughout your enchanted miniature garden. Magical stone and gravel paths will entice fairies to roam throughout your gardens and perhaps leave behind a tiny fairy footprint.
A Fairy's Best Friend
Surround your fairy garden with plants to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, to attract these fairy's best friends into your enchanted fairy garden. Fairies love taking rides on these winged creatures!
Fairy Garden Tea Party
Fairies enjoy a tea party as much as we do! Throw a miniature tea party set in your miniature fairy garden. Fairies are also fond of aromatic chamomile herbs and flowers for this very reason.
Fairy Mushroom Ring
Create a miniature fairy mushroom ring to create a magical portal into the world of fairies but be careful not to cross the boundaries and enter the world of fairies yourself!
CREATE A FAIRY HOUSE
Plan out your fairy house. Observe and adapt ideas from woodland cottages. Fairy houses can be round and short, or skinny and tall- such as a tower.
Draw a realistic blueprint on a piece of paper of the main structure of your fairy house. Remember, it needs to be physically possible to construct this. However, decorations to your fairy house can be improvised.
Find a base structure such as milk carton or a birdhouse. You can also build one with cardboard or wood.
Gather your materials from the woods or your garden. They need to be dried natural materials because hot glue won't stick to damp or green woods.
Build your house; you can use cardboard, wood, or other materials. Glue them together using a hot glue gun or perhaps wood glue. It may be too costly or time-consuming to make your whole house out of clay, but oven-bake clay is great for turrets or windows. They come in many useful colors. You can add towers by using paper towel tubes, toothpaste boxes, or whatever else your imagination thinks up. Assemble your house on top of some sort of move-able platform.
Adorn the house with your findings. Once you have made your structure, you can decorate it with doors, vines, etc. Rustic and natural features will seem more realistic. Pebbles can be used in walkways or used to make a stone house. Birch tree bark has a beautiful look and you can use both sides. Don't forget to include landscaping!
Create an inside world for the fairies also. If you cut out the back of it, you can wallpaper the inside with natural materials, leather or natural paper. Either you can buy some inexpensive doll furniture or you can make your own out of twigs or clay:
Gather some dry twigs, both skinny and thick, from your backyard. Cut a couple pices to the right dimensions for a table (about 4 inches long and 1 and 1/2 inches wide) and glue them together, forming a picture frame effect. When this has dried, lay twigs across the top and glue them to the frame. Now rest some table legs upward, on the underside of the table, and glue them carefully, so the table can stand on its own.
Clay furniture is much easier to make but does not look as rustic. There are no real directions, just carefully mold some air-dry or oven-bake clay into furniture.
Admire your finished fairy house and place it in the garden or the house. Keep it in a quiet, secluded spot away from pets and toddlers.
