DIY Project ~ Make Fairies for Free!

by Barb Rosen

Fall is here, the perfect time for walks in the woods and in your garden. As you stroll along, pay attention! There are natural materials all around you to make your own little fairies for free. This is such a relaxing activity and perfect for creative play with children. (note: I used hot glue. When doing this activity with kids, use Elmer’s Glue) Many people have told me they would also make perfect decorations for a natural Christmas tree. See the steps in making a fairy from a pine cone, dried hydrangea, twigs, fall leaves, dried ragweed, an acorn and a fine-tipped permanent pen by clicking on the link below. You will find the most magical thing happens as you create your fairies, each will take on a personality of his or her own! Believe!

They are so cute and remind me of something my Grandmother would have had us kids make.

I'm waiting on my sons as well:) I want to be able to share all the crafting and gardening stuff with them while I'm still healthy enough to go tramping through the woods and on the beaches.
