Fairy House Night Lights

Posted 2015-04-10 by Lucy ⇒ follow
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).
