DIRECTIONS:
Trace
and cut out pieces from fun foam according to the patterns. Set
aside.
Take
the 8” x 6” piece of tulle netting with the 8” lengthwise.
Fold over 2 ½” the whole length. From the folded edge, fold
over 1”. You should end up with three layers of netting, 8”
long. Gather up the folded edge to form the dress. Tie with the
crochet thread to hold ruffles in place. Glue the Head over the
gathered edge.
Take
the 3” x 6” tulle netting for the wings. Fold the 6” length
in half. Fold in half 2 more times. You should end up with a piece
3” x 1.5”. Curve cut the 4 open edges. Unfold tulle netting.
Gather up the middle of the netting the whole 6” length. Tie the
middle with the crochet thread to hold ruffles in place. Glue to
the back of the head for the fairy’s wings.
Take
6” of yarn and fold in half twice. Tie the bundle in the middle
with the remaining yarn. Knot twice to secure. Cut the loops of
yarn apart. Unravel the strands of yarn. Glue the bundle of yarn
to the top of the head for hair. Trim hair as desired.
Twist
the two wires together. Curl the wires. Glue the red heart to one
end of the wire to from the wand. Glue one arm onto the dress
below the head. Glue the wand to the hand, going across the fairy
front. Glue the other arm over the wire.
Use
the black fine tip permanent marker to make two dot eyes on the
face. Make a small bow with the 1/8” ribbon. Glue the bow below
the fairy’s neck. Glue the pin back behind the fairy.
