DIY How To Make Miniature Chairs for a Fairy Garden!

- Have you ever wanted to make a fairy chair?
I've been asked several times how I make the miniature chairs that I leave in forests. This video shows how I create these mini fairy chairs in about an hour (with drying time). It may not be the best way, but it's the easiest way I know to make miniature furniture with the best results.
There is something so magical about nature. The sheer scale, age and beauty of the natural world is something that will always stagger me. By adding these chairs to the magic already in abundance I just feel that the world shines a bit brighter that day.
If you would like to see how I decorate the chairs or the places I like to leave them for people to find then comment and let me know. I also make other furniture as well and have started making little creatures out of clay (to varying success).
If this is something you are interested in then please hop on over to my instagram account. There are lots of pics of magical artifacts over there...

Thank you for watching, have an amazing day and take care of yourselves!
Yes, please, please, please make more videos. I clicked on this video because of the title and almost immediately subscribed because of how hilarious your commentary was. Thank you so much for not taking things so seriously. It made watching your video so much more fun and I learned how to make a chair for my fairy garden that will always remind me of the fun I had learning how to make it. Thank you again, I haven't laughed so hard in so long. I wish you a life that is long and filled with joy and laughter always.
That was such a lovely comment, I've read and reread it about 40 times now. How sweet of you that you found time to comment and say such profoundly and genuinely heart warming words. I thank you sincerely and wish nothing but love and laughter for the rest of your days 🙂
As for another video, I filmed one on how to make a table that goes nicely with the chairs and then accidentally deleted it because I'm good at doing things that are devastatingly stupid at times.
When I have the time I will definitely refilm it! Your comment has motivated the ever loving heck out of me!
I painted a fairy door inset in a tree root. Now I'm going to make a patio set for it. I think this will be perfect.
Imagine how children will view these and the doorway! Oh, the wonder!
Thats fantastic, I love it! If I found your creations in the forest I would spend hours thinking up stories about the little inhabitants 🙂
Great good to see people be real ❤
Thank you, I like to leave in the mistakes. To be fair if I edited them out I would be left with a very short video😁
Love the way you describe how to do it, you make it fun.😊
I like to leave in all the parts where I mess up because I want people to know that making mistakes is all part of the process. Evidently it's about 97% of my process 😅 Thank you for watching and I appreciate your very kind comment, you brightened my whole day!😃
Nice build and enjoyed your humor.
Well thank you very much, I enjoy and appreciate your comment 🙂
You are wonderful and fun. Thank you for this video. I want to make larger furniture for 11-in elf dolls and a window sill fairy garden.
I would love to see elf dolls and furniture in that scale! They would look awesome 🙂
I like the idea of a fairy garden for your window sill, it would bring some magic into the house.
Clicked on it to watch how to make the beautiful tiny outdoor villages, but I enjoyed your awareness and narration immensely. Plus the high production value alone- worth every penny Leatherman better sponsor you for.
Thank you very much for the awesome comment😃
Can you believe that Leatherman still hasn't reached out to me yet? I must have driven tens of thousands of one person to their great products.
That one person was me. I bought a Leatherman Micra.
Just lovelylovely love from Ai
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the lovely comment it made me smile 🙂
Adorable. More please!
Thank you! I'm working on another video as we speak 😁
Yes please make more videos like this one!
I definitely will as soon as I get the chance 😃
Amazing
Thank you 😃
I agree, more please. Also wanted to add that showing the repeat process is a bonus for us newbies. When I watch or read instructions and they are edited to be done perfectly the first time or everytime, well, it 's dis heartening. Your honest, fun approach is the most encouraging video I have seen. Very well done, Thank you.
Sorry I only just saw this comment now! Thank you so much for your kind words, they are appreciated.
I recently filmed a video on how to make a fairy table then lost all the footage because I'm terrible like that.
I'll definitely get to work on another video soon! 😃
Beautiful ❤ #poojasgarden
Mate 🤣 magic video and stunning end result ✨️ thanks for the help and the laughs 🤣 5⭐️
5 star review! Thanks Callum, you win Commenter of the Year award. Keep an eye on your letterbox. Theres nothing coming just keep an eye on it.
Your comment made my week mate 🙂
You crack me up. Thanks for an informative and FUN video!!😀
Thank you for watching Rhonda! I appreciate the comment. You may actually be the most amazing person ever. For today. And also next Wednesday.
wonderful chair and teaching 👏🏻 thank you for the giggles. it’s been awhile since i laughed so effortlessly!
Well thank you for the kind words! You brought a smile to my face 🙂
@@magicintheforestwastaken much deserved 😀
Youre too kind 😁
The project is adorable and so are you! Definitely the most entertaining and funniest craft video ever!
Hahaha! Really, you think so? 🙂 You just made my night.
Best commentary! Giggled my way through your vid. Please make more. Def heading to insta to follow you there. 😊
Haha thank you, im glad you enjoyed it! Ive been experimenting with hot glue lately and making a few discoveries. Mainly that im awful with hot glue.
I hope to have a new video out soon.
More please 🙂
Kerry, for you I will make more!
@@magicintheforestwastaken thank you 😁
Yes Please, more video's. Love your accent and joking around.
That's a very kind thing to say! I always thought that my Australian accent sounded like a drunk englishman 😄
Great tutorial wish I had teachers with your sense of humour, I would have learned so much more 😊😁 it's great to laugh and learn and I've done both thank you so much 😊 Many blessings from Ireland 🙏
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you very much, you've given me a goofy grin for the day. Also Ireland looks like one of the most beautiful places on Earth, do you get to see much of it?
I really need to hurry up and make some more videos!
@@magicintheforestwastaken yes this country is very beautiful and magical if you have a childlike mind 'like I do, I love all things magical and mystical ' hence why I came across your video. I want to add to my faerie garden for my grandkids and show them how to make things from the gift mother nature gave us 🙏 I've seen some stunning places here not near as much as id like to but I will go to more places this year 🙏 like the saying goes, if it's under your nose you take it for granted... We have so much beauty we just need to open our eyes more to see the little things in life are precious..
It's so true! My mind was always on far off, exotic places and I never really gave a thought to the beautiful area around me.
Since ive been walking everyday I've been noticing such beauty in the Australian forests. Wild, untamed beauty with a ruggedness that is baked into it by a million hot summers.
I'm glad you're going to see more of your beautiful emerald land. So much magic and lore in your part of the world, I imagine you would be able to smell the fairytales in the air.
@@magicintheforestwastaken you have a beautiful country too. I only spent a month in Melbourne some years ago visiting my family . We visited the blue mountains and that was breath taking. One day please God Id like to go back with my family/grandkids. I've seen faeries in my garden twice now 😊 if we are open to the magic this beautiful world has to offer, it's then we see its magic in all it's glory and beauty 🙏
How wonderful! And adorable. It is a pleasure and delight to watch your videos. Please do keep making them. Here in the South West of Ireland, our fairy community is always delighted to be surprised with tiny chairs….😃
Hello Maeve! I often dream of running away to the Emerald Isle where I can go live in lush fields of velvet green. What a magical place you live in. Please say hello to all the magical creatures over there for me 😃
@@magicintheforestwastaken You can count on it 😄
Love the running commentary, it's very similar to what's going on in my head while I'm crafting lol. Just brilliant and highly entertaining
With me, sooner or later it always gets back to having a cup of tea. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video, I really do need to make more.
If you don't mind me asking, what sort of crafts do you do? 🙂
I'm a little ADD when it comes to crafts, I just cant stick to one lol. I love creating miniatures, and painting, sewing, knitting, making jewellery... the list goes on. I'm currently in the middle of making a shadow box, as well as a commission to make miniature replicas of wooden garden chairs to go with someone's bonsai tree (hence discovering your video while looking for construction techniques that might be useful)
Oh wow it sounds like you are an amazing, creative person! I love the idea of a little chair next to a bansai, that sounds lovely.
Also ive been super interested in shadow boxes lately. Do you find it difficult to make them? I was thinking of making a little forest scene with a chair in it.
@@magicintheforestwastaken They are simpler than you might think! I can't find the TH-cam video that I saw on how to make them but basically you get a picture frame, nothing expensive, and some foam board. Take the back off the picture frame, and the little metal bits that hold the back in the frame (you wont need them and they just get in the way later on). Cut a piece of foam board the same size as the back piece that you took out of the frame, and then cut strips any depth you want to fit across the top, bottom and sides of the back board. Glue the foam board pieces together to form an open fronted box, hot glue works really well. Then you can paint it and decorate it however you want before gluing the box you made into the back of the picture frame. You could use those tiny seed lights to light up your forest scene to enhance that magical feel to it and have the battery pack just attached to the outside behind the shadow box. I can just picture it now, all mossy, maybe a few pebbles, a chair and leaves...So cool! I hope you do it!

not enough hilarious AUSSIES on youtube who do great craft things like this
my young neighbour LOVES Fae folk, so PLEASE could you come back and share more projects and fun commentaries?
Thank you.
What a lovely thing to say, thank you for the compliments!
I would love to make more videos, I really just need to make some time. I also moved house and unfortunately its further away from the bush.
Thats awesome about your neighbour, it sounds like you both have amazing neighbours.
I hear you on the 'distance to the forest' our favourite forest is about 2 hours away and I so miss being amongst the pines and hearing the Banjo Frogs.
@@silverpromidi oh that's so far away! I'm only about an hour away now so I guess I shouldn't complain. I love a good pine forest, the smell of the pine and the needles littering the forest floor, it's all so magical and beautiful. My grandfather used to say "Wherever you can hear frogs, the land is healthy and things are how they should be."
wise man your grand dad
yes, the forest is a beautiful place to be as is the coast line, which we are really close to distance wise, so I guess we make up for something somewhere 😀

@@silverpromidi I used to think that my grandad lived a lonely isolated life towards the end but I realise now that he engineered things to be that way. He spent time where he wanted to, with his wife, with his dog, fishing and in nature. As I get older I can see the wisdom in that, spend time where you want to, not where you are expected to.
You're near the coast? That sounds amazing, my mum is a coast girl. She loves the beach and lives for the ocean. I have to admit I'm not really a coast person but I certainly marvel at it's grandeur and it's endless beauty.
Also sorry about that last comment, I accidentally sent it from my wife's TH-cam account 😣
Love this video. You are quite entertaining which makes you a great teacher. Thank you.
Ah what a kind thing to say 🙂
As a teacher I'm giving you some homework. You have to have an amazing day and for extra credit, have an amazing week!
So cute.
There is genuinely something so sweet and cute about teeny, tiny furniture. I've started branching out (a little tree humour there) into other furniture as well.
The success rate of those pieces vary wildly from poor to slightly above poor but actually just as poor if I'm being honest.
Well done ,I know it’s not easy
It's very fidgety for me as I have big fat fingers! Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment as well🙂
Wait! What's going on at the end?? What sort of counsel has convened?? I have concerns
I asked what they were about and they said "Mind your own business biggun." Having recently put on a bit of weight, that hurt more than it should have but I just laughed it off nonchalantly. Inside I wept.
So I smooshed them.
Just kidding, I went home and ate ice cream.
Also I subscribed just in case you start making videos again
I really want to! Im just having issues finding the time. Although I did recently buy a new dslr and ive been teaching myself how to edit 😊
I have a chair joke for you. Have you ever noticed that most hospitals have their chairs bolted to the floor? Cause the sign says "Take a seat"
Bad I know. But you crack me up lol love the video, although, don't think it helped me much lol
You win best chair joke! Here's your trophy 🏆
I'm glad you liked the video, im sorry it didnt help you much though.
