Fairy Furniture
May is a month that fairies love. Show them your appreciation and give the kids a great project by making them some furniture!
Items needed:
twigs, vines, dried flowers
needle and thread
scrap material
scissors
hot glue gun-be sure little fingers are safe!
pruners to cut the twigs-again watch those little fingers
Decide what you’re going to make. We’ll make a chair, to give you an example. Cut the twigs in this manner - one long, bendable piece that will form the back legs and back of the chair, and four equal lengthed twigs which will form the two front legs and the seat.The chair should stand no more than four inches tall (including the back)
Bend the long twig,and hot glue one of the smaller pieces in between
the two ends where you want the seat to be.This will be the back of the
seat. Hot glue on each side of the bent twig facing towards you a
smaller twig; these will be the sides of the seat. Glue the front piece
of the seat to these side twigs. Glue the two front legs to the seat so
that the chair legs are even. If you wish,wrap the vines around the
chair back and legs. Cut the scrap material to form a “back” and a
“seat” - these are NOT to be as wide as the chair, but will fit inside
of the twigs. Using your needle and thread, attach the material to the
chair using a whip stitch. Hot glue small dried flowers at the top of
the chair. This technique can be used to make all kinds of fairy
furniture, from tables to beds, to sofas - all of which are sure to
delight your fairies as much as your children!
House Happy Charm
This is a small sachet pillow stuffed with good things, an excellent
gift when people newly in love move in together. All the while you’re
assembling it, focus on their hopes, dreams and your bright wishes for
their hearth. Make a small pillow (I usually do a 5×5 square) from an
interesting material. Leave one end open for stuffing.
Gather, mix and empower the following herbs:
Sage and Sandlewood for blessing and protection
Lavender for domestic tranquility
Rose petals to honor their love
Vervain for bright witchery
A couple drops of cinnamon oil.
Stuff the pillow and sew the open end shut. Decorate as desired. In sacred space, dedicate it under the gaze of the Lord and the Lady. If you’re blessing your friends home for them, include the pillow in the ritual. If they’re doing their own home blessing, offer it as a house warming gift.
Many Blessings as always!
