Trees add beauty to your landscape, increase property value, and provide shade from the hot summer sun. But dead trees can be an eyesore and need to be removed immediately. They are tripping hazards that are likely to attract pests.
But why go through the grueling task of removing a dead tree stump when you can turn it into cute garden decor?
The fairy house garden statue made of durable resin materials, waterproof and anti-fading. The product is equipped with advanced solar chips, which can light up for 8 hours and it is waterproof.
Mimi, the owner of the gnome tree stump house you see above, though she could do something creative with the dead tree stump instead of having her husband cut it. The tree stump was located near the street, and so the first thing that popped into her head was to build a house – a gnome tree stump house!
It is indeed a great idea. Instead of letting the tree stump become an unpleasant sight on their property, they turned it into a cute fairy house that even the passers-by liked!
Below is a video that shows how they did it. And although they bought new materials for their project, it should not stop you from making use of scraps that you may have in storage. If you have old toys stashed somewhere, you can also use them in decorating your gnome tree stump house!
