Hi friends,

Tinkerbelle’s teapot cottage inspired our snow fairy cottage, with winter pines, and glittery snow.

I was invited to our CEO Cindy’s granddaughter’s birthday party earlier this year. The birthday girl had a Tinkerbelle-themed event that included painting a fairy cottage- birdhouse. We loved the idea of a winter version and created ours with paper. Check out the snow fairy cottage below and a few party pics too.

PREP

Turn 1 sheet of white paper vertically and cut out some slopes.
Use the scraps or the second white paper, fold over a small edge, draw half a pine tree, then cut it out. Repeat a few more times and create different shapes.
Fold over the white paper a few times, draw a narrow leaf, then cut through all the layers. Fold the leaves in half lengthwise.

TEAPOT

Draw a wide oval on the ivory/tan paper, including a handle on the left, and a wavy spout on the right, then cut it out.
Cut a circle door from the lunch sack/craft paper and a small circle window from the white paper, then draw the sections on the window before gluing them and the leaf roof onto the teapot.

BACKGROUND

Use different blues and purples/pinks on the blue paper to create a beautiful skyline. Color the background on about 2/3 of the page. Optional: blend with facial tissue.
Glue your trees and the teapot cottage onto the snowy slopes. Optional: Cut out a narrow tree from the lunch sack and glue it as well.
