Get your materials
Pick a blank welcome mat and give it a good clean with a vacuum
or lint roller.
Tape your stencil of choice tightly to your mat. Cover any areas
you don’t want sprayed with trash bags or cloth.
Spray inside your stencils with paint (look for something with UV
fade resistance). Leave to dry and you’re ready for guests!
Fill a terracotta pot with soil. Add any greenery—like moss or
herbs—and your fairy house of choice.
Add fun details like miniature furniture, fences, and figurines to
create a storybook scene.
Finish off with colourful pebbles and fairy lights for a magical
touch. Now just wait for fairies to make themselves at home.
Paint the outside of both planters and your wooden disc with your
colour of choice. Let it dry overnight.
Keep weights inside the planter so it stays sturdy. Glue your disc
to one planter to make a tabletop, let it dry, and enjoy!
