We are kicking off the Valentine’s Day “sweetness” on Glued To My Crafts today with something “FAIRY SWEET!”

Create something EXTRA crafty this upcoming “lovestruck” season with the help of our Paper Plate Valentine Fairy House kid craft tutorial! We even have a FREE downloadable printable to get you started on this holiday inspired craft idea!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Are you ready to take on the next holiday and really step up your craft game with the kids this year?! So are we!!!

Since our Christmas Fairy House post was so popular last month {it went viral on Pinterest AND Facebook} I was really hoping to hit the jackpot twice and share a Valentine’s Day inspired version of that craft, that everyone will love just as much, as well!

With today’s Valentine’s Day fairy themed tutorial, you are going to take a plain paper plate and our free printable & make it a cozy safe-haven for some of your new friends. You can customize your fairy house by adding your own creative touches like different craft mediums, stickers and glitter – all of which you probably already have in your craft stash right now.

So on that note… you and your child are going to LOVE making this valentine inspired paper piece together. Find the full tutorial and free fairy house printable template below! Remember – at Glued To My Crafts we set up the framework for you but we want YOU can make it however you like. Don’t feel restricted by our “tutorial” or even printable. We just hope to inspire you to make your own magical valentine themed fairy house today!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! When you are done crafting, snap a few pictures of your finished Valentine’s Day Fairy House creations made from paper plates and share them on our Facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

Valentine Fairy House Craft Supplies:

• Large Paper Plate {one per valentine fairy house craft}
• FREE Valentine Fairy House Printable
• White Cardstock {affiliate link}
• Color Printer
• Craft Scissors
• Valentine Colored Craft Paint or these awesome Tempera Paint Pens
• Paint Brushes
• Markers or Colored Pencils
• Small Circle Rhinestones {affiliate link}
• Valentine Colored Cardstock {affiliate link}
• School Glue
• Hand-Held Stapler
• optional – Valentine candy stickers, glitter, rhinestones etc.

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 piece you just cut off.
• Next up – paint the paper plate any other color you like! I did a shade of pink on mine. When done, set aside to let it dry completely.
• Now download and print the FREE valentine fairy house template above. Print out the file in color on white cardstock. You only need to print one per craft.
• Using scissors, trim out each section in the printable you just printed. You will have a few windows, a door, flowers and small donuts.
• Bonus tip – use markers or color pencils to color in the blank flowers in the printable, to make them custom to you!
• Next up, use the small donut pieces in the printables and small craft rhinestones, to make the center of your flowers.
• Now decide which windows you are going to use for your craft {you only need two windows.} There are several different versions of fairies in windows. Any combination of them is great for the craft!
• Set aside all your chosen/decorated cardstock pieces.
• Grab some cardstock and scissors. Cut out a long rectangular “chimney” for the fairy house. If desired – decorate it. Set aside.
• Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out that you want to use for your piece, now it’s time to start assembling your Valentine fairy house.
• Go ahead and glue/staple all your paper embellishments in place on the paper plate.
• Now add anything else you like for that custom look {like some love themed stickers or glitter!} before displaying your paper plate Valentine’s Day fairy house proudly for all to see!
