How to Make a Fairy House out of Twigs: Adorable DIY Project

You can make fairy houses SO many ways, but my favourite are the fairy houses that look like like the fairies collected all the materials and made them from scratch!

I’ve realised over the years that if my fairy houses are going to be outside (even just for the summer months) some consideration HAS to be taken as for how they will stand up against the elements.

Of all the fairy houses I’ve ever made, I’d have to say the DIY stone fairy houses have lasted THE BEST, followed closely by the concrete fairy houses… but I REALLY wanted to try and make one that looked like a little log cabin!

How to make a fairy house out of twigs:

To make this twig fairy house I used:

– Styrofoam blocks – sharp knife – long nosed pliers – silicone sealant (the secret to longevity of the houses outdoors!) – twigs – dried moss – bark – small pebble or seed (for door knob)

1) Create your base from Styrofoam

To create a base the size I wanted, I cut + stuck together (with silicone sealant) pieces of Styrofoam. Like I mentioned earlier, on further thought, I may have used concrete or even some kind of wooden box as the base for this house.

2) Cover your base in twigs – try to get them as close together as possible, but don’t stress about gaps

I use silicone sealant to hold my fairy houses together. It is PERMANENT. Use A LOT.

3) Fill your gaps with dried moss as you go

Before you move on to another wall, while the silicone is still very wet, press some dried moss into the worst gaps. (You should have a lot of silicone available to hold the moss if you have used enough silicone sealant!)
