Fairy House.

The house was finished and decorated using a lace cut butterfly, a lovely odd jewel earring hanging from above the door ( as a kind of lamp) and ready made decorated ribbon around the top edge. A jewel type stone has been used on the very top of the house.

Ok so this is  the start of a fairy house I made. It was made using an average size paperback that I removed the cover from.
The book was thick enough so that when the fold was done it needed no glue or anything to hold together. The doors and windows were made from cut pieces of ice lolly sticks ( totally enjoyed the lolly the previous night ).
The flowers next to the door are rolled paper flowers.
Running along the bottom of the house is a border made from a cut piece of a pretty napkin I had. 
I just cut the piece I wanted to use and separated the layers so I had a single, very thin layer.
I then used a Mod Podge type of glue to stick it and also to protect it a little.
The little scrolls above the windows and door are made with small pieces of quilling paper.

Blog on!

Hello :-) I started to do paper crafts a while ago when someone I work with showed me how to do a simple book fold.

I got the bug pretty quick! I began looking on Google, Pinterest and Instagram and all those places to learn new folds and also to get ideas.

I have started the blog as I would like to share some of my own ideas and pictures.
