Directions:

First things first – cut off a small section of your heart shaped paper plate, to make the bottom of the fairy house lay flat.
Discard the small piece you just cut off.
Next up – take the black Sharpie marker and make small dots ALL over the paper plate. This will give the look of a strawberry.
Now grab your green cardstock paper and pencil.
Trace both of your hands on the paper.
Trim out each traced design. Discard excess paper.
Now grab your brown and white cardstock paper.
Cut out circle windows, a door and rectangle chimney {the chimney will become the stem of the strawberry house – FYI!}
Use the Sharpie marker to add details to your paper pieces {like window pane lines, a doorknob on the door, bricks on the chimney etc.}
Once you have ALL your paper pieces complete and cut out, go ahead and now glue/staple all of them in place on the paper plate. I would highly suggest starting with the handprint “roof” and working from there. The paper chimney piece will go in the center of everything.
Go ahead and add anything else you like for that custom look {like some love themed stickers or glitter!} before displaying your paper plate strawberry house proudly for all to see!
Now head to our Popsicle Stick Strawberry Fairies tutorial to pair with today’s crafty idea!
