Welcome fall into your home with our Popsicle Stick Acorn Fairy House kid craft idea. It’s going to be a WARM autumn welcome for those who loves fairies as much as we do!
Acorn Fairy House Made From Craft Sticks
This is a first of a kind for Glued To My Crafts and I really do hope you enjoy recreating it with your child this autumn season. I’ve taken the fall theme of acorns and a basic craft stick fairy house, to create our latest kid craft idea.
It’s just in time for the beautiful autumn season we are heading into and it only takes a few minutes from start to finish. If you can glue some sticks together and cut some paper, you are well on your way to pulling it together with ease! I’ve even made it super easy for my readers, by providing a free printable for everyone to take advantage of today. It’s going to take some of the guess-work away and cut some of that stress!
With this latest and greatest crafty DIY idea from Glued To My Crafts, you and your child can make a magical, one-of-a-kind piece that any fairy {or in our case, an owl} will love to come “home” to. It’s just a matter of creating a simple craft stick base, printing out our free provided printable and letting your imagination sparkle as you decorate you new acorn fairy house with flair!
You can use our inexpensive craft stick idea for a sweet fall themed keepsake, party decor or even for some magical pretend play fun in your fairy garden this autumn season. Whatever you decide to do with your finished piece, we hope you have a “magical” time creating it!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! Find all the details and free acorn house printable below. Please don’t forget to share pictures of your fall themed fairy houses with us! You can tag us on Facebook or Instagram for us to see! I can’t wait to admire your hard work! #gluedtomycrafts

PAIR TODAY’S CRAFT WITH —> Handprint Acorn Poem
It’s it lovely? And of course, you can make it custom and/or fit any supplies you might have on hand.
If you don’t have brown tissue to use, no worries! You can easily just color in the acorn top roof in our free provided printable, with your choice of craft medium.
Don’t have a printer – that’s ok too! Cut out your own half-circle shape from white paper or use a small paper plate cut in half, instead. Then color in with your choice of craft medium.
And my last tip – make it even more custom by adding your child’s picture in one of the fairy acorn house windows.
