Faery Door Fun!

"You're walking alone on a gray, rainy day
When an orange kitten prances with lust
You think a while and then come to the conclusion
He was sprinkled by Tinker Bell's Pixie Dust

A laugh in dead silence, a storm in the desert
Little rabbits and deer sweep and dust
The house is clean and happy again
While we never notice Tinker Bell's Pixie Dust

You can try as hard as you want
But magic is a hard thing to rust
Finally you give up and think
Must be the work of Tink's Pixie Dust"

Do you adore fairies? Is it school holidays? Are your kids constantly bored? Then this is the place for you! I am going to tell you how to create your very own Fairy Doors!!

You Will Need:

You will need these items

- 8 popsicle sticks
- A sturdy glue
- Mod Podge
- Paint of your colour choice
- Scissors
- a paintbrush
- A pen

Method:
To create this wonderful decoration you must follow these simple instructions!

1. Place 6 six in a row vertically  

 

6 in a row

2. Stick glue on a 7th stick and place it diagonally from the bottom left corner to the top right corner.

3. Cut an 8th stick a little bit at the top and then in half. There will now be 3 pieces, 1 small and 2 about the same size. Place the same sized ones at the top and bottom, horizontally.

 Well done! That's the tricky part.
4. Now flip over the door so none of those sticks are seen.

5. Now to paint! If the first 3 steps were not of the kiddie's interest, this is their part for sure! You can paint any colour you wish, whether you are an adventurous little elf or a elegant fairy princess.

6. You may now wish to coat in a nice layer of 'Mod Podge' or craft glaze to give it a sturdy look.

7. I'm sure you remember that little piece of stick we cut earlier? This is when it comes in handy!
Once your door is completely dry you can paint your little "Number Plate"** to match your beautiful fairy door. Once this is dry, take out your texta, craft pencil or Sharpie and write a number of your choice on the small piece of stick. I also found it nice to write a message such as 'Elf lives here' or 'Tooth Fairy'
