New product alert!
It has taken me a LONNNGGG time to finish these projects, but two new enchanting fairy houses are FINALLY listed in my shop! These were my most ambitious fairy house projects thus far!
The first fairy house is a two-story half-timbered A-frame construction with a stone-clad bottom floor. This medieval fairytale house comes alive with touches of whimsy, with jewel-toned stained-glass window panes and handcrafted planters overflowing with miniature roses.
Each house is meticulously handcrafted with basswood, birchwood, balsa, and stone veneers and decorated with nature-inspired ivy and faux florals.

The second fairytale-inspired creation is an enchanted castle tower with creeping faux ivy vines and miniature white and yellow daisies. This fairy-tale fortress features a stone-clad veneer with white cornerstones, medieval arched windows, and a pyramidal shingled roof. It’s a proper castle for your resident fairy queen or king!
Decorating tip: Light up these fairy houses with LED candles or fairy strands to create a warm, magical glow in the evenings!

New blog posts…
Three new blog posts are now posted
The first two articles are a never-before-seen behind-the-scenes look at how I crafted my whimsical medieval fairy house and enchanted fairy castle. I talk about the materials used and basic construction techniques. I also provide affiliate links for the supplies so you can purchase them for your own projects.
The third post: a fun DIY project creating simple mushroom shapes using air-dry clay. Spend an afternoon creating magical mushroom shapes out of air-dry clay for your latest seasonal decor or projects. This project is even easy enough for kids or grandkids!
Need more blog material to read?
If you like fairy-inspired articles and musings about folklore, fairytales, and Celtic mythology, I have just the page for you! Since I love to research in-depth on these topics—and the topics don’t always vibe with my Di’s Studio Designs blog material—I created a Substack site under my pseudonym, The Celtic Lilly. Here you can read my general posts and see a different side of what makes me tick, or jump in with both feet and read in-depth articles on Celtic and fairy-related topics for only $4 a month!
