Make a Fairy's Bed

Please enjoy this post from the archives...
The lucky fairy who comes to live in our Fairy Garden. K decided that no Fairy Garden is complete with out a beautiful fairy bed to sleep in. So, to add to the fairy furniture we have already made, we made a fairy bed in the hopes that a fairy will choose our garden as her home.

This is what we used to make it...
My glue gun, my garden scissors, a twig branch and a flat piece of bark.

Fairy Garden, how to make a fairy bedFirst, we cut 4 legs for our bed with our garden scissors.

We made sure they were about the same height.

With my glue gun, I stuck them into place on the underside of the bark.


K gave it a magical kiss of approval.


But she thought it needed some embellishment to attract just the right sort of fairy. We raided my bead supply and found just the right sort of beads. They were stuck into place...

Magical beads to embellish our fairy bed
A flower was found for a comfy (and pretty) pillow and a rose petal was picked for a blanket.

No fairy garden is complete with out an enchanting fairy bed
She's hoping that the bed is so comfy and cozy that the fairy will oversleep in the morning and K will wake up in time to see her. Oh, how I hope this happens!

How magical! Such a wonderful post to begin the day with. I'll be back to check out the rest of the fairy garden. I've always wanted to make a fairy door for one of the trees in my yard.
