Building a house is not an easy task. Those who have gone through it know this very well and all the “torments” they went through to finally enjoy the desired peace and comfort. This being said, today you are going to learn something that is a bit easier, namely how to build a miniature house for your garden. You can make miniature houses out of river stones and this raw material is becoming increasingly popular for all sorts of DIY projects. It is easily available and most importantly, it’s free. The other materials for this project, such as adhesives or pieces of wood for the roof does not cost a fortune, and for this project you won’t need a significant amount of them. So just take a look at the selection of images below and choose your favorite miniature house to make for your garden.

Id like some instructions please?
Please send some instructions.
Click on the word “source” under the picture
Would love to build a house,
Where can I find instructions for the fairy houses?
River rocks and canyon rocks are not always free. In some places, it’s illegal to take even one. Neither are they inexpensive. Checked with local quarry and decide to keep my eyes on the terrain everywhere I go, and wear deep pockets.
Dollar stores have them by the bags full
You can find those rocks at Lowes or Menards
Look in the fish department by aquariums at Walmart, or Dollar Tree or buy pea gravel at LOWES or any hardware store..
Dollar Tree Stores have very inexpensive supplies. Rocks, moss, sometimes tiny figures or accents. Hobby Lobby also when they have 50% off sale. I find things also at Goodwill, Thrift shops, etc.
What kind of a glue work the best for this proect?
What kind of glue works best on the plastic bottles or wood? Is there some way to run off the instructions & pictures so my friends & I can try these (we are seniors so we don’t have much $ to spend on them, but they sure are cute. Thanks.
I use a glue gun on the houses I make. I have made a house with a stone fireplace and chimney and it worked fine. I will say working with rocks like in these pictures are rather time consuming but they turn out so beautifully!
.
Where arie the instructions
Click on the word source located under each picture – sometimes there is the name of the cottage listed beside the word source.
I absolutely LOVE this idea!! May I ask what kind of glue is used to attach the rock to the plastic? I want to try this but don’t want it to fall apart later.

Beautiful all
How do I get instructions on how to make picture number 3 of the Enchanted fairy house made from rock
thefairygarden.ca/tag/how-to-make-a-fairy-house/
The top part of the plastic water bottle that you cut off you keep to use for the roof later. Get an apoxy glue that dries fast as you add your pebbles. Once. Your walls are done, glue the roof onto the top of the walls and flip the top part and continue gluing the pebbles on the roof. Take your time. That is part of the fun of making these. I used to make these when I was a teenager . The part you cut out for the door can be covered in popicycle sticks cut to fit and stained to match some of the colors of your peggles. You an slowly add your chimney to finish off your roof. I love makeing these.
hi:
What kind of glue is used to keep the pebbles in place.?Do you put the windows on first ?

I would really appreciate the directions on the slate roof house and where did you buy the roofing materials? Thanks so much for sharing
The directions are in the link under the photos “source”
I would still like to know where to purchase slate for the roof of anyone knows? Thanks
Search fairy house ideas on pinterest, the instrucions for the one with bottle is there and many others
I have found river Rock really inexpensive in a multitude of sizes including fiat size down to pebbles in assorted colors at local drug stores like Rite Aid where 1 bag can run .50 cents to $1 dollar and weigh a few pounds.
Beautiful. Would like to make theses.please provide the instructions especially about the roof and doors
Love them!
Where can I get instructions for the Rock houses? Thanks!
You can get a big bag of those rocks at the dollar store
If you taught a Sabbath School or Sunday School lesson for children some would be awesome as tomb of Jesus, I think.
I live in the mid west. You can get river pebbles 1/2″ to 3/4″ an Manards, Lowes, type place, There about $ 2.30 for 5lbs bag, For a abbessives i’m for to us CA glue from Gorilla glue. Then i’m going to grout the stone with kitchen/bath back splash and tub sealer cause it come in a tube with a fine tip. And think give it a bit more strength
Hope this idea helps
Yay google is my king assisted me to find this outstanding internet site!
I would love to try making one of these….where do you get the doors and windows? Are there any instructions that could be sent to my email? Thankyou
You can buy doors and other mini size items to accessorize these cottages at any local craft store. Most craft stores always have and online coupon you can use to sacs around 40% off. Also these items often go on clearance and are normally fairly cheap!
I can’t believe how many people are demanding for information. Try being grateful that someone shared with you at all. Sheesh!! If you use a tube of beige colored caulk to lay a foundation on the surface, small area at a time, and press the stones in, it will hold up outdoors just fine. You can buy the stones in various size bags in most pet departments (for fish tanks) or try Dollar Tree for smaller bags. Obviously, a dollar a bag. They may even have caulk! I have never made using a plastic base. Not sure how that will hold up outdoors. I purchased unfinished wooden birdhouses for outdoors and cardboard for indoors. Some hardware stores have small wooden shims that make adorable “shake” roof tiles. Good luck! …and be nice!!
Please provide instructions for building fairy houses…thank you!
I get old bird houses at yard sales and or thirft stores and use dollar store pebbles. I use heavy duty hot glue gun to cover it
Beauriful , I would love to have the instructions on how to build these !
Wood paint sticks or paint stirrers are cheap or free, bark from downed tree limbs, old branches trimmed and sanded or planed, scraps of wood from a lumberyard or handyman, craft sticks, moss ordried spanish moss, odd scraps of solid wood flooring.
Glue must be outdoor weather resistant adhesive, both slow and fast setting, perhaps some waterproof grout, maybe brick or cement chips, broken clay pots, pieces of broken ceramic or stoneware plates, pieces of thick pexiglass or broken glass or mirrorwith sharp edges smoothed, tin snips & old metal/aluminum again with edges smoothed. Furniture wood stain can be used to darken materials to “age” them.
Click in the pics for directions on how to make these.
Would love instructions please
Use Pinterest you guys to learn how to build these! Geez! They’re not that hard!
Click on the word source underneath the pictures for directions
This looks like a con. You are asked to download a PDF converter app and even when you do it doesn’t download the instructions or anything. I feel used and dirty. :-/
Dolls house accessories would be the easiest way to make the windows and doors
Love to have instructions my grandaughter love one
Can I please get the instructions for these houses? Or send me to a place I can get them please..Thank you…:)
Someone on Facebook said to use automotive grade silicone adhesive if you want it to hold up in the heat

Love the fairy homes! I want to build one a little bigger for me!
Hot glue sticks and hot glue gun. Will. Work

Check at Hobby Lobby or Walmart for stones
Hope I’m not repeating but noticed a few posts asking for instructions.
The instructions are found under the photos. Click “Source” and it will take you to the website for that fairy house. One takes you to a wonderful Pinterest board full of fairy houses and others take you to websites with great instructions and supply lists. Hope this helps….

The glue used is wood glue I’m trying mod podge cuz it’s what I have. Also if you click above I see the pictures that say Source it will take you eventually to the directions how to from point A to B. Good luck.

Instructions for fairy houses
They used silicone glue
Okay here’s the stuff the WOOD GLUE BY GORILLA is best glue for tiles. And the tiles are important. Glue gun should be used to fast set tiles and then coat over all with mod podge and or urethane. Using a soda bottle was to flimsy I went to a sunny D bottle. And there you have a wonderful FAIRY HOUSE….
Buy large bags of these at Dollar Tree
