I used an old wooden box lined with plastic for the base. The fairy house is actually an unfinished wooden bird house you can purchase at craft stores. I altered it with moss, sticks, and such and made a dwelling fit for a fairy!
A nice little path of colored gravel leads right to the hinge front door. The door knob is a teensy snail shell that was found in the moss.
Here is a view from another angle. You can see the fun gold ball that I added. I've been collecting interesting objects to add. The blue stone by the door is a piece of glaze from a clay pot. There is also some wee pine cones, interesting sticks, an old pop tab, and a piece of broken mirror, nestled amongst the moss.
Plans are in the works for a smaller version of this too. See kids, work can be fun!

This is so sweet!
What kind of work do you do that you can create such a wonderous little world there?? It's beautiful!
I work at our family owned greenhouse that my Grandma has had for the last 35 years. She encourages us to be creative and push the limits of the normal flower planters.
Ah, lucky you for working in such a great environment.
