Recycle your old cardboard tubes to create these budget friendly homes for the resident fairies. All you need is a bit of paint and some patterned paper. The windows in these fairy houses make fantastic night lights (using fake tea lights of course).

At night, place fake tea lights inside (real candles will burn the cardboard tube) and watch them glow while you wait for the fairies to arrive.
