Fairy Garden Teepee and Fence

Step up your fairy garden landscape with a petite teepee and fence. Both elements are made of wooden matchsticks and other basic materials that can be found at a crafts store. We used a strawberry-print fabric in our fairy teepee for added charm.

Materials

• Wooden matchsticks (2.6 inch x 0.1 inch x 0.1 inch)
• Twine
• Fabric
• Wire

Tools

• Hot glue
• Scissors
• Precision pencil compass

Cross two matchsticks so there is about 1/4-inch crossing point at the top and they are making an "X" shape. Hot glue them together at crossing point and let dry.

Add a third matchstick with hot glue to make a tripod.

Cut a 5-inch half-circle out of the fabric of your choice.

Wrap fabric around tripod. Secure by applying hot glue to front legs and attaching fabric opening.

Cut a 3-inch piece of twine and wrap around the tops of the matchsticks. Trim the tail of the twine.

Now we'll make the fence. Cut matchsticks into 1/2-inch pieces.

Wrap wire around single matchstick several times. Continue wrapping wire around matchsticks until desired length is attained. Trim tail end of wire.
