Spring Fairy VideoTutorial

Spring is here!  The flowers need to be awakened by the spring flower fairies. Our Waldorf inspired Nature Table displays the flower fairies.  Each flower fairy represents a different colour of flower and it is that fairy’s job to fly above the ground and ‘wake up’ the flowers.

I try to tell this story the first day I see the hint of a tulip bud showing in our front flower bed.  Then the next day the children and I check the flower bed to see if we can see any other flowers  awakening with the help of the spring fairies.

Spring Fairy Tutorial

Materials:

Wool Felt

Embroidery Floss

Embroidery Needle

Stuffing

Nylon or skin toned fabric

Wool Roving(for hair)

Pipe Cleaner

Small beads for hands

Flower Fairy Dimensions:

The head is 1″ in width

Start with a 5″ pipe cleaner (you will need to twist it) and then cut to your desired arm length.

The fairy dress is 2  3/4″ in width from sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff. The depth of each sleeve is 3/4″.  The length of each sleeve is 3/4 “.  The length of the full dress from neck to bottom hem is 2 3/4”.  The neck opening is about 1/2″ in width. These measurements are to give you an idea of the size of the fairy I made on the video.  I’m not an exact measurement type of crafter, each fairy is a bit different.

I hope these measurements give you a starting point of reference and then you adjust the design and size to fit your fairy needs.
