felt fairy house (wip)
This little felt house is not a WIP exactly, because it’s already done. However, I will be making a couple more for the Little Ladies come holiday time. I made this fairy house 5 years ago for Fauna’s wee folk. I LOVED making wee folk back then but grew a little tired of wrapping chenille stems with floss and had to take a break. Lately, the girls have been asking for more. Fauna wants a fairy family (I can’t believe I haven’t made a fairy set, I was obsessed with trees at the time and made a maple family, oak family and sweet gum family) and Araina wants a ladybug family. So it’s time, once again, to start wrapping chenille stems and to dig out the pattern I made for this little house.
I loved designing this little house with the leaf roof and the flowers growing on the sides. My handsewing skills have really improved since 5 years ago so the whole process of the wee folk and the felt house should come easier this time around.

What a cozy little fairy house. So sweet! I love the leaf roof!
So very sweet Lisa : )
Oh, that is so adorable!
Your work is much inspiring! We have never tried to work with felt before, I think now the time has come to do it. The fact is, I don’t love sewing at all, but looking at this, mumble mumble…
Both of my boys love fairis, elves, gnomes, trolls and all that, you know
Oh, how wonderful! My son has a family of tomtens that would like this!
That looks very fun! I would love to crawl in there right now and take little snooze!
Lisa!! That’s too gorgeous! I love it so much. Perhaps I should have a try at making one for K… she’d LOVE it.
Blessings and magic.
It’s absolutely beautiful, Lisa! I reminds me of a little cloth tree house I played with as a kid with little squirrel people!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. The pancake was actually a corncake. It was tasty made with red peppers and scallions.
Very cute, Lisa. I May just have to try something like this someday…when my craft to-do list is just a little shorter.
very whimsical…like it very much.
We are obsessed with wee folk, too! I love this idea. Thank you for sharing another one of your inspirational creations!
Oh my goodness, that is absolutely adorable!
That is beautiful! I used to make fairies and gnomes, and the fairies had fleece dresses that needed combing and combing to get just right … and the gnomes required delicate stitching … oh goodness, I’m almost glad my dd grew out of them! But I never made anything as clever as this tree. And I never saw anyone else do so either. You make me itch for my felt stash again …
Darling! I would love to see your Wee Folk.
Your feltiness always amazes me!
So cute!! I’m thinking I’ll have to make a couple for our fairy table (used to be my coffee table) Great job, I’m sure the girls love it. I wish we lived closer so our kiddos could have playdates while we worked on crafts and sipped tea….sigh.
Very sweet little house. I know what you mean about the Wee Folk. I used to make them and then got tired of wrapping those pipe cleaners too. I have one that I was making that’s just sitting in a bag unfinished. I’m thinking about trying them out again this fall though.
Because I didn’t have enough things to make the little one for Christmas!
Lovely house and I cannot wait to see more from you!
This is such a sweet fairy house.
That is darling…more precious than anything I’ve seen in Magic Cabin!!
Benjamin set up a little fairy table in a corner of our flower bed the other day. He found a dried up mushroom “cup” and filled it with hibiscus seeds for them to snack on; he also gave them a few nasturtium seeds. The hibiscus seeds were missing the following morning, but they didn’t care for the nasturtium–perhaps too peppery!
What a lovely fairy house!!!
That is so cute!
I think you could sell them. hint, hint. Cali would adore it. I HAVE GOT TO LEARN TO SEW!
Woooow! I LOVE this! Ya knowww, I have a birthday coming up next month! Speaking of which, Natalie has most of Fauna’s birthday present with her in Ohio right now. I am WAY busy catching up now while they’re gone!
Sigh – I love this! I’ve been thinking about little peg people – I wonder if I would lose my mind creating something like this for them to live in?
