How To Make Flower Fairies
Materials
- Wood clothespins
- Markers
- Large flowers
- Leaves
- Scissors
- Sticky tape
- Ribbons or tissue paper
Note: Your flowers and leaves can be real or artificial, depending on how long you want the fairies to last!
Instructions
1. Draw your fairy's face
Draw a face on your clothespin, using a marker. You can give your fairy any features you like. This little artist has chosen to draw eyes, a nose, and a smile!
2. Make your fairy's skirt
Take your flowers and cut two holes in the middle, large enough for the ends of the clothespin to fit through. Then, just slide the flowers on to make a flower petal skirt!
3. Make your fairy's top
Use markers to draw your fairy's top. You can just color, or get creative like Gisela by adding stripes and dots!
4. Add fairy wings
Fold your sticky tape so it sticks on both sides, or use double-sided tape. Take two leaves and stick them to the back of your fairy to create a pair of wings.
5. Decorate your fairy
Make your fairy unique by designing hair and accessories made out of ribbons or tissue paper.
6. Time to play!
It's always a good idea to make time for imaginative play. Enjoy creating adventures with your new Flower Fairies!
