Miss 5 had a friend over to play last weekend, and we all did this project together.
Things you will need:
Old fashioned wooden clothes pegs
Cheap fake flowers
Pipe cleaners
Transparent plastic insect wings (Jim Holtz idea-ology brand)
Various embellishments (lace, trims, buttons, etc…)
Hot glue gun and glue
Drill and drill bit
Instructions:
Drill a hole through the clothes pegs perpendicular to the ‘legs’ to fit the pipe cleaner ‘arms’ through. Disassemble some fake flowers, so you can use the parts to make fairy dresses and hats. You may need to enlarge the hole in the middle to fit over the peg. Attach to the clothes peg fairy using hot glue. Add embellishments to complete the look. Draw on a face and hair if desired.
What the kids can do:
A grown-up is needed for drilling holes in pegs, cutting peg sized holes in fake flowers and hot glue application. Kids can make all the choices about which flowers and embelishments to use.
