I Made Some Flower Fairies...and show you how to do it, too!

First off, I must give credit to the talented lady who put a tutorial for these on her Site last summer. Her name is Denise of 'Living Life Creatively'. You can find her tutorial here. She made her "fairy" daughters into plant stakes. SO CUTE!

I've never been able to get this project out of my mind, so I've been preparing for awhile now by buying all sorts of odd and ends and taking pix of the grand babies. Hee-hee...I took the photos on the sly one night while babysitting all three, while their parents were on a double date. : )

Below, is my terribly handsome grandson. Somehow, I didn't think his mommy and daddy would want me to make him into a fairy. : ) SO...

I had him pose like this so I can deck him out to be a SUPER HERO! I'm pretty sure I'll do the whole Superman thing, cape included. I'm really excited to tackle this.
Like Denise instructs, cut your photo out and glue onto good card stock.

Some of the things I've been collecting (below).

The best thing I purchased was this little fairy doll from Marshall's. I've seen them at TJMaxx, too. I ended up using all the glittery leaf-like things, on my "fairies". Only $3.99.

First, the wings go on.
Then, I glittered her top and added the "skirt".

More skirt frills.

I added some embellishment to the waistline.

And last, I had fun creating the crown and adding some glitter to the green part of the skirt.

Next, big sister's turn. I actually cut apart the butterfly wings you saw in my supplies photo, to use as her underskirt.

I just happened to have these little paperdoll stands in my craft stash, so I used them to help my fairies to stand. I put big sister on a block so she would be taller.

Then, I added some green moss, little eggs and some tiny millinery flowers.

This was SO MUCH FUN, it should've been illegal. Hee-hee! :-)

Having fun with the Macro camera setting.

Here are Denise's "fairies". There are all kinds of options in putting these together. HAVE FUN!
