Paint the walls a basecoat of blue. In Pixie Hollow, the land where Tinker Bell and her fairy friends live, all four seasons exist simultaneously so that the different fairies can practice ushering the different seasons in and out. Recreate the four seasons to create a bedroom your little one will not soon forget. Create your own fairy room, inspired by Pixie Hollow, using paint and supplies found at the local craft store.

Paint the bedroom walls a light, sky blue using your preferred brand of interior wall paint. Apply a second coat of paint, if necessary. Let the paint dry overnight.

2

Draw a mural on the wall with chalk depicting springtime. Include trees, flowers in bloom, grass and fluffy clouds. Paint the mural using acrylic paints. Use vibrant colors for the flowers. Make the grass and trees full and green. Let the paint dry overnight.

3

Repeat the process, drawing and painting three more murals on the remaining walls to represent summer, fall and winter. For summer, keep the sky cloud free with a large sun. Add a pond and rope swing. For fall, use oranges, reds and yellows for the leaves. Paint leaves on the ground and no flowers. For winter, use lots of white to indicate snow. Make the trees leaf-free, unless you want to add a snow-covered evergreen. If desired, include animals in the mural, such as a snow rabbit in winter or blue bird in spring. Let the paint dry overnight.

4

Wet a sponge with clean water. Squeeze out the excess to keep it moist but not soaked. Wipe all four walls with the sponge to remove any chalk left behind.

5

Hang curtains in shimmer fabric to represent the look of fairy wings. Choose tulle, organza or a metallic sheen curtain, based on your privacy needs. Use a fairy or butterfly pin as a curtain clip.

6

Secure 20 to 30 eye hooks to the ceiling, depending on your ceiling size. Place the eye hooks in a random pattern on the ceiling. Space the eye hooks a minimum of 6 inches apart. Tie an 8-inch piece of clear fishing line around the body of a silk butterfly. Tie a loop in the end of the fishing line. Repeat the process to create as many butterflies as you have hooks. Hang one butterfly from each eye hook.

Add three-dimensional flair to the wall murals, if desired. For example, use a staple gun to attach silk flowers on top of the painted flower blooms. If you included butterflies or dragonflies, attach silk ones to the walls. For the leaves, use silk leaves. Create a snowman in the winter scene and use real fabric to create its scarf.

To add a fairy twinkle, string white Christmas lights around the curtains or around table legs.

Pair the finished room with the bedding of your choice. Choose Tinker Bell bedding, a solid color or general fairy bedding.

If you are not comfortable with the idea of drawing a mural by hand, rent an overhead projector from an audio-visual company. Use the projector to project images from an online photo-sharing site or from a coloring book on the wall and trace the image onto the wall, before painting.
