Trapping Tinkerbell

Tonight, Kaylen and I made a Tinkerbell trap complete with a bed and "lost things" for her to keep.
We had a lot of fun making this trap and we hope we will get a peek at Tink one of these days :()

We took a box and wrapped it with polka dot wrapping paper and then taped streamers to the opening so Tinkerbell could easily get in and out of the box.









We made her a bed made out of popsicle sticks and cotton balls (for comfort) and then covered it with some pink polka dots fabric to look like sheets. We hand stitched a little pillow so Tink would be nice and comfortable while she rests in her new place.









We left some "lost things" in the box for her because we know how much she likes to tinker.

We left crayons and paper so that Tink can draw pictures to decorate her new hang out.

We also left pipe cleaners, feathers, a flower, thread and needle, rings, mini clothes pins and some beads that spell out Kaylen (in case Tink wants to make Kaylen something special.)


 We also left some pixie dust in case she forgot to bring her extra supply with.

We tucked everything nicely into her little box and we set it on a shelf so that the next time she visits she will have a nice place to stay.

********** UPDATE **********

This morning when the kids woke up, they found Tinkerbell sleeping on the bed... Apparently sometime last night, she kicked over the pixie dust while she was trying to climb into bed. They found the dust all over the floor with her foot peeking out. (I used one of Kaylen's Tink dolls and snuck her in after the kids went to bed.) They were so excited to see her in there this morning... so excited that I had to calm AJ down because he was talking a mile a minute and jumping up and down! This was such a fun project. :)
