Welcome to another Wacky Workshops project – fairy castles and wands.

The sweet little fairy houses are for the indoor fairy.

Made from cardboard rolls and felt, they will not cope with outside weather but put a little tea light battery candle inside and you have the sweetest night light.

What I love about the wands in this project is that they are made using sticks, so have an extra whimsical feel to them.

INDOOR FAIRY CASTLES

SUPPLIES

• Cardboard rolls
• Felt
• Scissors
• Box cutters
• Glue
• Pen
• Artificial flowers
• Tiny artificial flowers, gemstones and glitter, for decorating
• Tea light battery candles

METHOD

• Place the cardboard roll on the felt and roll until there is just a small overlap.
• Mark this with a pen and then cut the felt to fit the roll.

• Holding the felt around the roll, draw windows and doors with a pen.
• Use the scissors to cut these out and then cover the roll with the felt again and mark the windows and door on the roll.
• Use scissors and box cutters to cut holes for the windows and door.
• Cover the entire roll with glue and then the felt – matching the window/door holes on the felt to the ones on the roll.

• Cut the flower stem until it is 6 – 8 cm long, then bend in toward the bottom of the flower.
• Glue the flower upside down onto the top of the cardboard roll.
• Decorate with flowers and glitter, add a battery-operated candle and enjoy.

FAIRY WANDS

SUPPLIES

• Stick – between 20 and 30 cm long
• Ribbon Scraps
• Wire – thin enough it is easy to bend
• Assorted beads with the holes large enough for the wire to go through.
• Craft glue.

METHOD

• Cut a length of wire about 40 cm long.
• Add beads to the wire, leaving a 10 cm space on each end.
• Wind the wire ends tightly together.
• Opposite the join, push the wire inwards to form a heart shape.

• Twist the joined wire ends around the tip of the stick.
• Secure with craft glue and cover with a ribbon scrap.
• Add more ribbon and beads near the top of the stick, under the beaded heart, if you choose.

Enjoy the magic!
