Faery Huts

Find or buy a little bird house. Convert it into a faeey house with a little imagination. Add bits of cloth and glue in some curtains. Place a miniature basket or acorn cap close by to faill with faery bait (barley, cake sprinkles, or glitter). Add some bells by the door so you will know when they have occupied their new house. Put a sign on the faery hut that says "no birds! faeries only!" Put the hut in a special place, like in the garden or next to the fireplace, and wait for faeries. keep the cat away (they are jealous of faeries)!

A Faery Bed

Try using any of the following: a small jewelry box, a wooden matchbox, a walnut shell, a dried orange shell rind, a large leaf curved just right. Add a cotton ball for a fluffy pillow, and a piece of soft cloth or even a large rose petal as a blanket. Place the bed next to yours and sleep with the faeries!

Elfin Bow and Arrows

It has been said that elfin folk have magical bows and arrows that can make humans sick, fall in love, or act a little ditzsy! To make an elf bow for yourself find a bendable twig, about the length of your arm. Tie a string tightly at both ends. Make a bunch of arrows with smaller, very straight twigs. Wrap some feathers to one end with string. You can have a grown-up help you sharpen the other end but please be careful. Rule number on:, DON'T ever shoot your bow and arrow at any living thing. Try setting up some cans for target practice.

Flower Faery Wreaths

It has been said that a wreath of flowers protects you from bad faery magic. Aside from that, they make you feel pretty. The easiest way to make a flower wreath without any materials needed, is to make it"daisy chain" style. Take a flower with a soft stem (like a daisy or dandelion) and split the stem with your fingers to make a small slit...not all the way down to the bottom of the stem. Put another flower through the slit and the make a split in THAT stem. Put another flower in that slit...and on and on till it's big enough for your head. Be sure the slits are small, otherwise the flowers will just fall through the slits and you will be FLUSTERATED!!!
