I'd draw up what you want it to look like. |

wow that's a really cool idea Starglass. I haven't got any experience with building, so I can't really help you, but I think what Ashwise says is quite a good idea. |

I don't know if you want it with a hole or not. I would create a mound of dirt that is basically the shape of a hill and plant grass overtop of it. Then, I would look at a picture from the movie and try to mimick it with little fences, a door, and such. |

Hmmm... a hobbit house. Cool! I'm going to have to ditto what Smeag said. I made some faerie houses before, just out of twigs, leaves, acorns, etc... but the next day a squirrely had stolen the acorn. |

Never heard of a fairy house until just now... But Smeag's idea sounds good. 
I'm not really a builder... I'm more of the person who sits back and watches sitting under an umbrella and a lawnchair with a magazine.

*gasp* I think there might be some help waiting for you at www.councilofelrond.com!! Click on "The Last Homely House" (somewhere in the nav-bar or in one of the sub nav-bars) and then scroll down. I'm not sure, but I remember coming across some stuff to make a real house look like a hobbit hole, maybe you could minimize everything (smaller items?) and make a fairy-sized hobbit hole!!! ^_^ |
