Fairy House - Indoor LED Lightning Project to Cozy Up Your Home

When I was a small girl, I always dreamed about a fairy house. I wanted to live in some fairy tale.

Obviously it couldn’t happen as in reality there are no fairy houses and life is not a fairy tale.

But my hubby is always sure that we are the ones who create realities which is why he made me a fairy house.

I feel myself a small happy girl again. Not sure if I could do such house myself, but I put it here for some skillful people or at least not lazy people :D

I think such lighthouse would be a perfect gift for kids and a great addition to your home decor.

So first let’s define what do we start with.

Basically you need not much, as usually some knives, some wood. And some led lights this time.

• straight flat chisel single bevel
• Compact V-Parting chisel
• Compact Deep Gouge
• detail whittling knife
• glue
• pencil
• led lights
• basswood

We should mark where we put windows, a door + we should define how our walls would look. You can go with a different house design than we did.

We took a house blank, so it would be easier. But for sure you can go just with some wood, just it takes more time. The one we took was basswood, it's soft and easy to carve.

Now we do the same but for the roof. Pencil guides us to the right place. And we can't forget about the chimney, it should be warm at home :D

With the help of chisel, we do necessary woodcuts so our roof would appear on the surface of the fairy house. No need to hurry, take your time. Imagine you're making fish scale, one by one.

My hubby worked on the roof with two chisels, straight flat chisel to remove solid amount of wood and Compact V-Parting chisel for tiny cuts.

Here a whittling knife comes to the game to work on the fairy windows where our lights would come out.

Now a flat straight chisel is helping us out to work on the walls according to the lines that were drawn there.

Do as you see the work done in the pics. My hubby used a V-Parting chisel.

Please make sure to go on the whole house there with the V-Parting Chisel to add as many details as possible.

The same V-Parting tool helped to work on the chimney. As you can see we used that one a lot. As for tiny details, it's the best bet ever.

We can see the door and windows and the roof is there as well.

Now just put together the house itself + roof+chimney. Use any glue you think is the most durable one, so our house would last for years.

Hurray! We're almost done here. A tiny house is ready. All we left to do it's to add some light :)

Any led lights would come in handy. Just make sure those are small, not huge :D as we built a tiny house here.

Put the lights in the basement of a house.

So this is how my fairy tale worked out.

The instructions are not very detailed, but we made sure to show the process in the pics precisely.

I think that's even more helpful.

Please comment below if you liked the instructable. So we knew if we should proceed with those.

I love my fairy house; it does make our home cozy.

Time to cozy up your home, right? :D
