Do you want to make a fairy house cheaply? If you do, there is lots of information here.
Steps
-
Use an empty margarine tub or similar plastic container so the water cannot get in. It can be as big or small as you'd like. Cut a door in the side with scissors.

A milk carton might be a closet. Make tiny mirrors by taping circles of aluminum foil onto the sides of the walls. A small box lined with cotton could be a bed, with a scrap of fabric as a blanket.

Tips
- Fairy houses are traditionally placed outdoors, especially in wooded areas. Try not to place the house in a particularly busy or windy area.Place a rock on top of it so it doesn't blow away in case.
- Don't buy anything to make the house. Take a moment to look around your house, particularly the kitchen or recycling bin, for useful objects.
Warnings
- Be careful when making a hole as a door, as you may cut yourself.
- Wash all containers that contained food thoroughly. Bits of food left in tubs, bottles, or jars may grow harmful bacteria if left to rot or collect mold.
