Directions Cut
the wire stem off the rosebud, leaving only about ¼”. Leave wire on
the side. Remove
the larger 3-leaf piece from the rose, set aside. With
the rosebud upside down, place the 12mm wooden bead onto the wire for
the head and glue in place. Take the yarn and cut off 2”. With the
remaining yarn, fold into 2” loops, Tie loops together in the middle
with the loose piece of yarn. Cut loops apart and you can untwist yarn
strands to create a wavy fluffy hair. Glue knotted middle to the top of
the bead for the hair. Trim as desired. Take the 3-leaf piece and fold
together, fanning out leaves. Glue to the back of fairy’s head. Take
the 8” of sheer organza ribbon and tie into a bow. Glue to the back of
the fairy. Glue the pin back to the bow. Cut
a 1½” piece from the remaining floral stem wire. Glue a small bead or
pearl to one end for the fairy’s wand. Place the wand diagonally
across the front of the fairy. Tuck the other end of the wire under one
of the front flower petals and glue in place. You
can add pink blush to the cheeks before painting the eyes onto the
fairy’s face. Use the end of the handle of the paintbrush to dip dot
paint tiny eyes onto the fairy’s face with the black acrylic paint. |
