faery furniture!!!!

the faeries have complained - they want new furniture! what shall you make them? a bed fit for the faery queene? a utilitarian table & chairs? a claw-foot bathtub?

for this swap you'll need to make teeny furniture out of things found in nature. i won't assign a number of pieces to aim for, but i do ask that if you are only going to make one item, make it count!

things that make fabulous furniture: sticks, bark, pinecone bits, cut branches, shells, acorn caps.

the books 'fairy houses' & 'fairy houses & beyond' are both brimming with ideas.

here are some websites to get your creativity going:

last year we made furniture from things found in our yard, & had the most fun! some tips: you can bind with raffia to give your items a more rustic look if you like, but hot glue works fabulously!

if your furniture should not be placed out of doors, please include a note with your package, so your partner doesn't accidentally ruin what you've created.

happy crafting!
