Materials You'll Need

• Felt in various colors (skin tone, hair, wings, clothing)
• Scissors
• Fabric glue
• Needle and thread (optional)
• Stuffing material (e.g., cotton balls, poly-fil)
• Embroidery floss or yarn (for hair and details)
• Wire (optional, for wings)
• Ribbons or beads (for embellishments)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Choose Your Fairy Design

The first step is to decide what kind of fairy you want to create. You can choose from a variety of designs, such as traditional fairies with delicate wings, whimsical fairies with animal features, or even seasonal fairies adorned with flowers or leaves. Once you have an idea in mind, you can start gathering your materials.

2. Create the Body

To create the body of your fairy, cut out two oval shapes from skin-toned felt. These will form the front and back of the body. Glue the two pieces together, leaving a small opening at the bottom for stuffing. Stuff the body firmly, taking care to evenly distribute the stuffing. Once the body is stuffed, sew or glue the opening closed.

3. Add the Head and Hair

To make the head, cut out a circle from skin-toned felt. Glue the circle to the top of the body. For the hair, you can use embroidery floss or yarn. Cut several strands of hair and glue them to the top of the head. You can style the hair in any way you like, such as braids, buns, or ponytails.

4. Create the Wings (Optional)

If you want to give your fairy wings, you can cut out two wing shapes from felt. You can make the wings any shape you like, such as butterfly wings, bird wings, or leaf wings. Glue the wings to the back of the body.

5. Add Details and Embellishments

Now it's time to add the finishing touches to your fairy. You can use fabric glue or needle and thread to add details such as eyes, a nose, and a mouth. You can also add embellishments such as ribbons, beads, or flowers to make your fairy truly unique.
