Materials

  • Craft Sticks Jumbo – Dollar Store
  • Craft Sticks Regular – Dollar Store
  • Acrylic Craft Paint – Purple Blue, Iridescent Glitter
  • Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
  • Buttons - Two
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Paintbrush

Instructions

  • STEP ONE: Gather all supplies. To create the purple fairy door, line up six jumbo craft sticks on your work surface in a graduated pattern. Attach the jumbo craft sticks together by gluing two regular crafts sticks horizontally at the top and bottom.
  • To create the blue fairy door, line up six jumbo craft sticks on your work surface in a rectangular pattern. Using a glue gun and glue sticks, attach three regular craft sticks in a “Z” pattern.
  • STEP TWO: Paint the first fairy door with purple acrylic craft paint. Paint the second fairy door with blue acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
  • STEP THREE: Once dry, apply a topcoat of iridescent glitter acrylic craft paint to both fairy doors. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. Use liquid craft glue and loose glitter or glitter glue, instead of the glitter acrylic paint.
  • STEP FOUR: After the glitter paint has dried, attach a button doorknob to each fairy door with a glue gun and glue sticks. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
