Can’t say what’s better, if your work or your stories....nothing better than fairytales 💖💖💖💖
You should make the faces, and sell them to people like me.
Thank you for sharing! Amazing beautiful!
I have been looking for a tutorial like this FOREVER. THIS is artwork. You are very talented.
This is awesome!! I love it! Opens up a whole new world of possibilities...
Yes I found this video once again just love your work!
I love love love watching your tutorials,You are a awesome artist and you inspire me to try to make my own fairy projects.Right now I am working on a fairy tree for my Granddaughter.Thank you so much for how you go into detail and sharing your art.
My favourite fairy doors i make are ones you can interact with. When i open my door its not just a blank wall but a mirror. Giving the illusion of a portal inside. I also hide 1oz fake silver bullion bars in there. Its fun to return to my doors in remote places knowing someone interacted with it because the silver is gone. Its even more fun when someone leaves something for me to find after they take the gift. :)
You are very welcome. I love your work.
Magnifique décoration pour un arbre ou même à poser sur un mur - c'est très beau - BRAVO !
Absolutely the coolest fairy door ever! I can't wait to get the supplies and try it! Thank you so much for sharing
Have fun, Nancy! Thanks for your encouraging feedback, your excitement is contagious.
Love these. So good how you go into EVERY detail, as people say....it's in the details. Definitely one for doing with my grandchildren this summer. Thank you so much for giving me great ideas to pass the time away in the garden when they come to stay :)
How exciting. I wanna come to your crafting party with the grandkids, sounds super fun. Thanks for the feedback, Hilary.
Awesome door ! You do a great job of step by step instructions .Thanks for sharing .
So nice of you to take a moment to let me know. I really appreciate the feedback. :)
I have the perfect tree to use this one. I've been searching for an idea. Thank you!
so inspiring & beautiful!!!!
Beautiful!!
your channel is lovely! makes me feel like a child again ♡ thank you for that
That's exactly what I feel like when I prepare the set for the story part of my videos. I get so excited; I feel like a kid bursting with imagination. I'm so glad to hear that feeling is rubbing off on people!
love your tutorials! Fairy doors remind me of a magical passageway existing in a regular place. It brings out wonder and imagination and makes you feel as though a fairy might actually come around😄
Yes. Exactly. I can't even tell you how much fun I had making this door and then setting it up in a fairy garden. I felt like a kid again. And I really, really mean it. Imagination and wonder... exactly the right words.
wow! I realy love it! thats the most beautiful fairy-stuff i ever saw! thank you!
Oh wow, thank you so much, Sabine! Stay safe!
This is adorable!! Cannot wait to get started on these for my yard and home. Thank you for sharing I just subscribed and excited to see what other creations you are sharing
If you put a thin coat of mortar on your plywood and seal it with the polyurethane you will have a base that is alot more waterproof than just paint and polyurethane. Realy love your work. I should have watched your basket tutorial 3 weeks ago lol. You can make your basket stronger and more weather proof by using mortar on it and then brushing off the grit when it is almost dry... if it dries the grit is staying put but adds a different texture that i find pleasing.
Absolutely fantastic! :)
that it one of the best faery doors I've ever seen. I love how it looks so organic and nature-ee. people have been telling me I should make faery doors but I haven't seen any that have inspired me to actually try, until now that is. I reeeaally like your style. cheers.
Wow, thank you so much, Tara. You've totally just made my day. :)
i love your imagination. it brings you ideas to create the most beautiful peaces.
Your kind encouragement inspires me to keep going, thank you dearly.
LOVE YOUR STYLE.... THANK YOU FOR SHARING...
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wonderful! Thank you!🥰
Wow so much detail Caroline!!! Love it!!
Chelsea, I loved your hedgehog tutorial. You put so much love into it and it totally shows. You rock. :)
So glad I subscribed! Currently binge watching your videos, I love your work!
Thanks Amy. Glad you enjoy the channel. I'll be producing more in the future. My daughter's been in the hospital lately so life has been really crazy. Can't wait to get back to video making again though. :)
You have inspired me to make my own, this is a fantastic piece. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome. So glad to hear that, Sugarsfolly! Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
Fantastic!
There are so many ways to make fairy doors! I love how durable and long lasting this version would be! Can't wait to try one this way. Another superfantabulous tute, thanks Caroline!
Regina, thank you again for your amazing encouragement. You are a superfantabulous person....thank you for the comment. :)

@@Certainlycaroline Yes and now i am changing it up a bit :)
This is SO AMAZING tysm for sharing it 😭😭💟💟💟
I want to make a fairy door for a tree in my yard 🐣
PRECIOSO, trabajo.
For Girl Scouts I am going for my gold award and am mapping and marking trails in a local glen. I wanted to make hiking fun for younger kids and have something that would inspire them to go out into nature and check out the trails. I plan to create my own fairy garden/path along the trail. The problem is I am 16 and don't know to much about fairy gardens. I have been watching many videos and even went to a public fairy garden. Your videos are really helping me come up with different ways to make things. Thank u so so much and please make more fairy stuff for outdoors, it would help so so much 💗
What an awesome idea, Ocean Amber! A fairy garden path in a glen to get young kids out into nature, how incredibly cool. I'm rooting for you as you work toward your goal!
wow, it's awersome!!!
Thank you so very much! Pleased to hear you liked it. :)
Cuando la artesanía se convierte en ARTE. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
¡Muchas gracias! :)
So beautiful ❤️❤️
So cool! Ah!
Thank you, BlueRaspberryCharms! So kind of you to stop by my channel. :)
Got the supplies and getting ready to make my own fairy door you make it look so easy. Love all of your tutorials you explain everything so nicely and you have a beautiful voice
Oh how cool! I hope you enjoy each step of the way. It was a challenge but if everything was super easy, we'd never grow as crafters/artists, right? I came so close to getting my husband when it came time to cut that cement board. Figured it out though. Have fun!!!
Just love the way you made this ! You have an amazing voice too !!!
So nice of you to take a minute to leave encouraging feedback -- thank you!
Wow I love it
This is very beautiful. Me and my friends love watching your videos and enjoy making these crafts. You are so amazing to come up with these beautiful crafts.
I'm delighted you & your friends are enjoying the videos, Olivia! Thanks so much for letting me know!
Wow this is amazing
Thank you kindly, Michelle. I really appreciate your comment.
Very cool!
hermoso Felicidades
Wow! I can't believe all the trouble you went to getting all the right materials to do this the right way. You are very patient, but the results were worth it. The reason I like fairy doors is because of the potential for a child (or childlike adult) to stumble upon it ... that magical feeling they are going to experience in that moment.
Yes! Finding a fairy door brings out the kid in all of us, I think. Have you seen the fairy doors in Ann Arbor, Michigan? Various businesses have them for shoppers to stumble upon... bit.ly/29xUNsO. I'd love to visit...so magical. :)
+CertainlyCaroline I just found out about the Ann Arbor fairy doors. I'll make a trip over there soon to hunt for them. I'm barely an hour away.
How fun! I want to get over there with my girls someday. They might enjoy it as much as I will...hahaha. :)
Fantastic! I Loved!!
I’ve revisited your channel for inspiration; I truly miss your UA-cam videos! Your content is joyful, unique, and so creative. I hope you and your family are doing well and I hope you can come back to UA-cam one day ☺️🥰💖
I love it, it's beautiful! I sure need to try that out
Thanks for letting me know, Loretto. Have fun fairy crafting.
CertainlyCaroline
CertainlyCaroline o
Impressive!
Did LiL' old you cut a cement board? I loved the dance it made me laugh. I rewatched that spot 1:31 a couple of times and laughed every time. Thanks for sharing the fun and great ideas.
Great video Caroline, stunning work and great attention to detail. I will be dropping by again!
Looking forward to seeing you around! Glad you liked the video.
awe this is so cute I love it
:) So glad you liked it.
I love this video...
Great job...
Beautiful...
Thank you for watching, Judi, I'm so glad you liked it. :)
You did really well with your stone work. I'm a Mason and I could teach you to build a door half high that would look pretty Cool for dwarfs
meraviglioso complimenti
Thank you dearly!
Brilliant work
Thank you, Clint
💖⚘hermoso gracias...🤗
i had to subscribe. where have you been?
i have seen other people make dolls but yours are so different, they look so real.
oh and i like the way you make the hands. you give it so much detail that it makes it look real.
great job. you inspire me to try to make one too.
That's what I was going for... (the 'you inspired me' part), I am so grateful for your feedback, Shila. Thank you so much!
I've just found you and I absolutely love your fairy doors! your instructions are very clear and the little mix tape scenes are such a laugh 😅 thank you, subbed xx
Thank you for the positive vibes, Sharon!!!
I have an idea, make the door up, do the surrounding as you want it, then put little hinges on the wood and the door, decorate like you would your front door, then you have a fairy door that opens. I am making mine with the tree's the housing cut down. I asked them to cut the trees in sections so I can make the floor's jut out. I am not a bit technical where the computer is concerned but I will do my best when it's finished to show you what it's like, have a great day and thanks for taking the time to do this video, much appreciated. :)
Lainey, Did you finish yours? I am working on the plans for a functional door too, in a stump from a tree that we had to cut down due to termites. It's an oak tree and the stump is about 3 feet high.
Going to definitely do this at the weekend. All my doors have just been polymer up till now. Wish me luck 😀
May you enjoy every creative minute! Good luck! :)
This is a class act. I've seen at least one other of your videos, maybe more, and I was impressed then, too. Narration, editing, humor, great voice and style, and this is on top of your imagination, taste level, talent, skills and eye. You make it look easy. Love your stuff. Those faces, tho. Yep.
So nice to hear, Aunty Mammalia. Thanks for the encouragement. :)
Awesome! So very detailed. Enjoyed your creativity! Subscribed!
Aw, thank you, Purpleshammrock. I really appreciate the feedback!
Very cute!😄
Thank you, Erika. ;)
Ur so creative!!!
Thank you so much, Natsu.
super
Thank YOU for explaining what to use for both indoor; and outdoor fairy door's! For outdoor fairy door; can you use a flat stone for the base? I have quite a few really nice stones from the pond we used to have. I was just wondering if they would work as a base?
its berrry nice
You are very talented🤗💐. This door is gorgeous. I have a raised triangular bed area in my front garden where I have just dug up all the lawn from. I hope to create a wildflower area with small pond. Large rocks hold this triangular bed back. You can guess where the fairy doors will go. People with their little ones walk up and down the road passed my front garden and I thought it would be great to feed their imaginations! Thank you for sharing your brilliant video❤🇬🇧😘
Sounds like a lovely project! Thanks for watching!
woooow, Lovely, BEAUTIFUL andas funny. Realmente bello. felicidades 🍀😘
Aw, thank you kindly, I appreciate your feedback. :)
+CertainlyCaroline 🍀😘
This is so neat! Like, literally, this is too darling!
Thanks you for leaving such a nice comment. Glad you're thinking about trying it out. I stopped by your channel and subscribed; it must be fun to be a mermaid!
No problem! I really enjoyed the video, and the concept! Oh!? Thank you so much! I'm subscribed to you as well... you have so much creativity! :o
Yes! It is so much fun! You ought to give it a try sometime! ;)
Maybe so...but I'll need to install a pool first. :)
CertainlyCaroline Hahaha! With your skill set, I think you could do it! ;D
...going to get my shovel now and start digging my new pool. Better get the camera fired up, it'll be next week's tutorial! hahaha...
Why dont u have a million subs its REALLY GOOD
You made my day, Sabrin. :)
you are great!!!!
Thank you kindly, Antonella!
Really nice Caroline.
Thank you so much, Jake.
cool
Nice vidéo,
I love it
Trop bien
Thank you, Merci
oh ... wonderful! Am I able to oder it for my garden? I love it! Plese!!!
I made mine out of cement shaped it as a door with an arch then when it was still a little damp but firm I took some bark and press it into the door. Lightly to make it look like a wooden door then I took a little branch that had a little kink in it and made a doorhandle then I stained the door antique brown. And hand painted rustic hinges
That sounds very interesting. You should post a photo.
use mitre shears to make cutting those sticks so much easier. Miter shears, best tool to have!
this is so beautiful. I couldn't stop laughing at the clip in the end. so funny.
My husband just cut down a tree in our front yard so now I want to turn the stump into a fairy house. I have been searching for fairy doors on amazon but I just couldn't find anything worth the price or cute enough and then I found this. You make it seem so doable. So so cute. I was wondering, when you put the clay with the popsicle stick in the oven what did you put on it so the wood wouldn't burn up? You've inspired me to make my own. Great video!
Hi Sara, thank you so much for your encouraging comment and your question. I'm delighted to hear you're giving it a go! The wood won't burn up, it will be very happy in your oven because polymer clay needs the temp to be nice and low. You'll want to follow the directions on your clay package, but all polymer clay brands require a temp that wood can handle happily. I would warn you to pick up an oven thermometer though. Don't trust your oven to keep to the temp you set it for, they seem to have minds of their own. A separate oven thermometer should cost about $5 or so and you'll be able to bake your clay (and wood) without unknowingly burning it. I believe you can get one at a grocery store.
Thank you! I'm going to do it, I'm very excited to get started.
Nice
me likey a lot
Thanks for watching!
It's soooo pretty, it makes me cry 😭
Aw, Bobbie, you're the best! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Really appreciate it.
+CertainlyCaroline you're welcome! 🙂
What is the first BGM?☺
I'd love to see how you make a fairy door with an actual hinge
How do you attach it to the tree? Liquid nails?
I need to make hinges for a door that actually opens the door. Any ideas?
your clip like bringing me to the fairy world 😆😆😆😆😆 but i wonder that when i put it on my wall for a long time, dust will stick it and how do u make it clean ? if u use water, the color is fading away ?
I've found that the door is very easy to dust with a dry paint brush. I just dust it like I dust other things in my home. No need to get it wet to clean off dust. If you want to keep it outside, the color shouldn't fade very quickly because the products are for outdoor use. I use outdoor paints and you can add a varnish made for the outdoors. Thanks for your interest, thuy Thu! :)
Have you got any tips on making a small fairy door out of clay to go on the front of a fairy house made out of an upside down pot?
I would share a picture of my creation but comments section won’t let me….
I am surprised to see your talent....I also wanna make this beautiful door but unfortunately I have no material ....:-(
but I try to find out and make this adorable door...:-*
Thank you kindly, Ayyanali. I hope you have fun making a door of your own.
Thnx sweety ...but I cant make like you :-)
You have magical hands :-*
Nikayla Williams. Cool.
cool maravi
Oh how Beautiful!one fairy story I love is how two little girls used pictures of fairies they drew and a camera, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle saw them and believed they were Real! Why? Because he didn't believe little girls intelligent enough to fool him!(the photos/drawings Are wonderfully done)
Yes, that's such an fascinating story. Wouldn't be as easy to pull off today, lol
You would be more than welcome :-D
Thanks, Hilary. :)
Very Very nice , fairy doors ^__^ i love your videos
