Required Materials
- White yarn (thicker, about 2 mm);
- Wooden bead (ball) (for the head);
- Silver organza ribbon;
- Hemp rope (about 30-35 cm);
- Half-pearl beads (for decoration);
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks;
- Pearl stamens (for a bouquet);
- Fine-tooth comb (for shaping the dress);
- Tape;
- Scissors.
Crafting Steps
Step 1: Creating the Head and Hair
- Cut a piece of hemp rope about 30-35 cm long.
- Carefully unravel it – this will be the fairy’s hair.
- Take a piece of twine and tie it in the middle of the unraveled rope to form a loop for hanging.
- Thread the wooden bead onto both ends of the twine so that it sits under the hair.
Step 2: Making the Dress
- Cut 15-20 pieces of yarn, each 30 cm long – this will be the dress.
- Make a separate, shorter piece of yarn (about 20 cm) and tie small knots at both ends – these will be the fairy’s arms.
- Place the arms in the middle of the yarn bundle and attach the dress to the head by tying it with the twine ends.
Step 3: Shaping and Decorating
- Expose and pull the arms out on both sides of the dress.
- Braid three pieces of yarn to create a scarf for the fairy and wrap it around her neck.
- Use a piece of yarn to cinch the dress at an appropriate distance to form the waist.
- Comb the dress with a fine-tooth comb to make it fluffy and voluminous.
- Trim the dress to the desired length.
- Make a silver belt by gluing a piece of organza ribbon around the waist.
- Shape the hair onto the wooden bead using hot glue, working layer by layer.
- Add a headband and decorate with a half-pearl bead.
- Create a small bouquet from the stamens and secure it in the fairy’s hands, then attach the hands to the dress.
Tips and Decoration Ideas
- Use colored yarn for different dress variations.
- Create wings for the fairy – you can shape them from wire and tulle.
- Make the fairy a gift – wrap it beautifully and delight a loved one with a handmade decoration.
