Elf furniture home

Fairies will sit everywhere, they are not that difficult, everyone knows. They perch on the tree branches and they sit on the moss. But when they see our beautiful homemade table with the matching mushrooms, we know what they choose!

How to make Elf furniture

Paint the wood slices white.

Paint the other side red.

Pint the stems on 1 side and the edge of the hat.

Draw with pencil stripes on the white side of the hat.

Stick the hats on the mushrooms and let the glue dry.

A piece of MDF, some twigs and glue is waht you need.

With pencil and ruler you mark 7 cm on the branches.

Use the saw and mitre box so you can fasten the round wood.

Saw off four pieces of wood, for the table top.

Saw four pieces of 3cm each for the table legs.

Cut off a piece of MDF, within the table top.

Now you have all the parts.

We stick the table together using contact glue, which is quite difficult with round parts. But it can't go wrong if you do it like this:

  • coat both sides that should join together with glue
  • wait a few minutes and then press them firmly together or against each other
  • use glue clamps where possible and allow the glue to dry completely, preferably overnight

Put glue on the top and brush it out.

Press on the pieces, with glue in between.

Press all the parts firmly on and together.

Put the table top between two pieces of wood.

Allow the glue to dry thoroughly overnight.

Stick the legs on in the same way.

Put something heavy on top while the glue dries.

Have fun with the furniture!
