ADD THIS CRAFT TO YOUR PLANS AS WELL —> Chalk Art Fairy
Directions:
- First things first – cut off a small section of your large paper plate to make the bottom of the fairy house flat. Discard the small sliver you just cut off.
- Next up – paint the paper plate completely orange. Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Now print the FREE template above. Print out the file in color. You only need to print one per craft.
- Using scissors, trim out each section in the printable you just printed.
- Use markers or crayons to color in the flower cutouts. Add embellishments to the center of the flowers if you like.
- Now decide which windows you are going to use for your craft {you need two windows.} There are several different versions of fairies in the windows OR you can use the provided blank windows & draw whatever you like inside of them {bonus tip -trim out the center of the blank windows and use your child’s pictures to fill the frames!}
- Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out/colored in, now it’s time to start assembling your pumpkin fairy house.
- Grab the brown cardstock. Cut out a rectangular stem for the pumpkin. Staple/secure it to the top of the paper plate.
- Glue/staple the other embellishments in place on the paper plate. You will want the flowers to be placed around the stem of the pumpkin. Stapling might be the easiest on this step, while glue is better for the windows and door.
- Finally – add anything else you like for that custom look, before displaying proudly!
