Instructions:
1. Paint the cork purple and set aside to dry.
2. Paint the styrofoam or paper ball in flesh color and set aside to dry.
3. Create a fairy hat by following the instructions below in the step-by-step pictures.
4. Glue the wiggly eyes on the face.
5. Be careful for this step. Use scissors and “cut” the wooden ball in half. This is done by placing the scissors over the middle over the hole and pressing down. This will split the wooden ball in half.
6. Paint the wooden ball with the flesh color and set aside to dry.
7. Dry brush the cheeks with pink paint. This is done by dipping a stiff brush in the paint and wiping the paint off onto a paper towel until almost no more paint comes off the brush. Then pounce the brush onto the cheeks. Continue until the intensity you want is achieved.
8. Use the fine liner marker and draw a mouth onto the fairy.
9. Glue the head onto the body body.
10. Glue one white feather onto the side of the face so that the soft part of the feather is facing down. Cut away excess feather at the top of the head.
11. Now do the same with the second feather.
12. Glue the hat onto the head.
13. Glue the nose onto the face.
14. Glue a piece of chennile from the backside of the fairy at the neck line so that the chenille ends are at the front. Insert the chenille ends on the purple wooden beads.
15. Create a wand by gluing the tooth pick to the larger star.
16. Hot glue the wand to the fairy’s hand.
17. Glue the small stars to the cork dress.
