We’re a big fan of fairy doors and gnome doors here at our house.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> We have a gnome door in one of our trees out front and have made salt dough fairy doors inside in past years (click here<\/span><\/a> to see how we did it).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tonight, I stumbled on some more wonderful ways to make fairy doors (or elf doors or goblin weapons closets or whatever your children want to deem them!).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a few….. \u00a0<\/span>Click on the links for lots more photos and directions.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Knickertwist posted all sorts of fabulous inspirational photos on Craftster<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> I think it’s brilliant to use popsicle sticks for the doors, and now we have a new reason to start stockpiling them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artful Kid<\/span><\/a> posted this adorable twig fairy door to Flickr.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kaboodle<\/span><\/a> featured this darling door that was offered for sale on Etsy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Roots Nursery<\/span><\/a> really went to town making fairy doors after getting inspired by others online.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This would make a fantastic rainy day project with the kiddos and I think we’ll try our hands and making some more sometime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember not to focus on making perfect little pretty projects.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 For kids, the magic is in the making of them, especially when we share their enthusiasm and join in the fun.\u00a0 And fairies are marvelously unconcerned about perfection.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Weekend, Happy Easter, Happy Passover and Happy Everything Else!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
