Popsicle Stick Fairy House Supplies:

• Decorative Paper Flowers and Leaves
• Jumbo Popsicle Sticks (9 per fairy house)
• School Glue
• Purple Craft Paint
• Small Paint Brush
• Purple/Pink Cardstock
• Paper Craft Scissors

Directions:

• First assemble the base of your fairy house by gluing your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {seven next to each other and two across the back.} Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each fairy house you want to make.
• Next have children paint the front of their popsicle stick shape completely purple {or any other color they desire!} Set aside again to let it dry completely.
• Now grab your cardstock. Cut out a large triangular roof, as well as a simple door and windows from the cardstock. Glue those to the front of your painted jumbo stick house.
• To finish off the Popsicle Stick Fairy House, decorate your front with the paper flowers. I decided to cover my roof completely with the flowers but your child can do this step however they like {like glitter, buttons, rhinestones etc.} Then finish off any other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!!!
