How to Transform Your Dollhouse Into a Faerie House
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
You might be too old for dolls, but you are never too old for faeries. If you have an old, unused dollhouse in the attic, it can come back to life with some attention and creativity. Take your old dollhouse and transform it into a beautiful and whimsical faerie house.
Steps
- Vandalize your dollhouse. Yes, vandalize it. Smash out the windows, tear out the stairs if you want. Keep the door, but get rid of the plastic. (Faeries don’t like plastic much.)
- Paint the dollhouse with natural colors. If you don’t do this, you will have some colors showing through and it might not look right. One method is to use spray paint, and paint it with tones of grey and brown. (Make sure you use a respirator.)
- Collect materials for your home. They must be dry or the glue won’t stick to them. For lap siding, you can use cat tail leaves. You can also make a stone cottage, or cover it with birch bark. Norway Pines have wonderful bark for shingles on the roof. Use old slips, fabric and lace for curtains. Layer them for a good effect. To detail the house, you might find some great shapes in potpourri, or from dried flowers from the garden. You can even make an entire faerie house with food!
- Use hot wood glue and a glue gun to put it all together. If you can’t find hot wood glue sticks, you can use regular, but it might not last as long.
TIPS
- If the house is plastic or smooth, things won’t stick very well. You can glue burlap or fabric to the house first, and it will help the other materials stick to it. Try to use natural colors.
- For a whimsical look, layer lace, gauze or other sheer materials to the windows. You can also make it look like the wind is blowing by manipulating the curtains.
Warnings
- Keep a bowl of cold water, some burn cream, or anything else to soothe burns near you in case you burn yourself on the glue gun or glue.
- If you haven’t used a hot glue gun, practice for a while. Don’t touch the tip, and if you are young, ask an adult for help.
- This will not hold up for long in the elements. Do not put it outside unless you are willing to let it fall apart.

Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
My external brain , the Internet (and the fact that I found this book at the library´s sales section) again pushed me to remember !! Suffering from a depression can be terrifying, knowing how much your brain might have erased or deleted of your memories. But then the surprise and joy of regaining lost treasures is so much sweeter.
And some of the helping angels on the road of remembrance was LISELOTTE and ELISABETH.
And ” Mit Skatkammer” also belongs in some of my fondest memories……..On special visits to my grandma lying in her bed and being tucked in.Then she would read from that book or make up stories of her own with me as the main character.

What Marianne Means |
 You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don’t have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you’ll knock down anyone who gets in your way!You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. |
