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!

This is a first of a kind and I hope you really enjoy recreating it with your child. 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! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Acorn Fairy House Supplies:

• Free ACORN HOUSE PRINTABLE {download HERE}
• Color Printer
• White Cardstock
• Jumbo Popsicle Sticks (9 per acorn fairy house)
• School Glue
• Paper Craft Scissors
• Brown Tissue Paper
• Crayons or Markers
• optional embellishments – fall themed stickers, glitter glue etc.

Directions:

• First assemble the base of your acorn house by gluing your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {seven next to each other and two across the back.}
• Set it aside to let it dry completely.
• Repeat for each acorn fairy house you want to make.
• Next go ahead and download & print our free provided printable listed above. You only need to print ONE per craft stick house.
• Once printed out on thick white cardstock, go ahead and trim out each piece in the printable.
• Use crayons to color in the door and add some lines to the windows, from the printable.
• Next grab your brown tissue paper and cut out a handful of small squares that will be used to decorate the “roof” of the acorn.
• Now you are ready to start assembling everything. Go ahead and glue down the paper acorn pieces on the popsicle stick shape.
• Follow that up by gluing on the brown tissue paper squares on the acorn piece.
• To finish off the Popsicle Stick Acorn Fairy House, add any other embellishments you see fit. Add fall themed stickers, buttons, rhinestones etc.}
• Then set it all aside {again} to allow it to dry completely before displaying proudly!
• Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share with us! We love seeing your creations come to life! #gluedtomycrafts

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.

Don’t let the crafty fun stop here! Be sure to also check out our Popsicle Stick Fall Fairies post as well! It’s another art project for those fairy lovers in your life and it pairs nicely with today’s idea, as well!! #gluedtomycrafts
