Description

Calling all creative minds, artists, and those with a big imagination to create miniature fairy and gnome homes.
No experience is required. All skill levels are welcome.
Your miniature fairy and gnome home will be used to create Fairy/Gnome Trails in Deerfield parks.
Creators/Volunteers will be placing their homes along trails at each of the parks; check out the different park themes below to find the one that inspires you!
Please note that creators/volunteers are asked to provide their own materials. (recyclable materials, natural materials, etc.)
One registration per fairy/gnome house; feel free to make more than one! :)

Materials used to create the miniature homes should be appropriate for outdoor use.
Please keep projects within a 12" x 12" floor space.
