Fairy furniture delight

The girls and I have been quite taken with the idea of a fairy garden. I have spent lots of time looking at ideas on the Internet and found some so gorgeous things to make with the girls. There was one site called Magic Onions which showed how to make fairy furniture. SO I made a fairy bed out of a piece of bark and twigs for legs and then we made a petal bed cover to go on top. Very sweet but not pictured here.

I also decided that even though apparently fairies prefer natural things to duck down to Spotlight for some glam fairy things. All these jewelry pieces were on sale and so I hot glue gunned the girls a heart chair and a butterfly chair. They turned out really sweet. I also made a fairy flower table. To put their rhubarb pie on.

The rhubarb pie were an idea also found on Magic Onion. But were taken from a site called WHIMsy. So so cute. We made them at work with the oldies and they really look real. I am very happy with them.

I also made a fairy flower carpet to help create atmosphere as well as a few extra tables for the pies and voila we have a tiny fairy garden. The girls love it, I love it. I want to make more. I think I will. The only problem is they are so delicate that they keep snapping legs off things. Oh well it is for the kids. I won't be precious about it. Just keep the glue gun handy.

If I was a fairy I would go here for sure.

Adorable. The girls and I are planning to make some mini pies as well, I saw them over on Whimsy Love.
The flower rug is sweet. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun!

What fairy could resist those tempting pies! Using jewelry pieces is also a fabulous idea. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
