He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himThe little houses of the fairies, a game so loved by children. To make one using only recycled materials was Diana, a creative mother.
With a negligible expense, equal to about 2 euros, Diana has created this beautiful little house for fairies and gnomes, which if necessary can also become a lamp by lighting up. A lot of imagination, a pinch of manual skill and a few days of work: this was enough.
To make the house, Diana used things that we all normally have at home: cardboard, egg boxes, pizza boxes, toilet paper tubes and two plastic bottles.
The only materials purchased were colors, hot glue and vinyl. It took 10 days to make it as the house required several drying stages.
