How to make a Fairy's Washing Line.


A big question was asked... What if our fairies did their washing in the coconut pond in K's Fairy Garden? They might have to hang their wet clothes on the tree to dry and that would look untidy... that wouldn't do! A washing line had to be made!

We needed our pliers, thin wire and a couple of sticks.
We cut a length of wire with our pliers.
Wrapped one end around the top of a stick, like this...
We did the same on the other stick, connecting the two into a charming little washing line...
This morning we found a few fairy clothes drying on the line and the washing basket left under it... more evidence that fairies have moved in... Hooray!

Couldn't resist popping in these photos of my Needle Felted Terrarium that is packed up for it's journey to it's new home. The gnome living in it is resting while his washing dries on the line.




Here are the other posts in our Fairy Garden Series...
