Using natural materials, do I need a sealer on an outside fairy house?

Used a hollow piece of wood and bark from a dead tree to make a fairy house for my yard, it'll be outside so I'm sure I need to put a sealer on it to prevent it rotting away but would be interested to see what others have used on theirs. Thanks for your input.

I used ModPodge on one of mine, and it has held up pretty well for two years.
I don't seal mine. I just make a new one once the old has started to decompose.
Highly suggested! Polyurethane or Acrylic clear sealers (Spray or paint)
Yes - use an outside sealer and if possible, place the fairy house on a rock or slab tilted just a little so rain flows off. Putting the wood house on a rock slab will also help prevent the earth from rotting the wood - sort of like a foundation.
yes. But make sure everything is dried out before you seal it
