Fairy house


This is one of my fairy houses.  I used a premade birdhouse purchased from a craft supply store, painted it with acrylic paint, then decorated it.  The roof is made of pine cone "petals" (I don't know the proper term for them), each individually glued on, beginning at the bottom.  For the exterior walls, I cut pieces of birch bark to fit and glued them on with wood glue.  The door was made with a piece of bark, then outlined with twigs.  I used lichens and the cap of an acorn for the finishing touches.  To make it weather-resistant, I spray it with a protective finish.
