We borrowed this book from the library called Felt Wee Folks by
Salley Mavor
Inside are the most adorable and easy to make fairies and little felt folks. They are made of pipe cleaners wrapped in embroidery floss with little wooden beads for heads. The clothing is made of silk flowers and felt. At the beginning is a simple pattern for kids.

Although the projects were too advanced to the boys to do alone, TJ still got quite involved as did cousin E. TJ painted several wooden beads (orange and purple) for heads. He helped me to take apart the fake flowers we picked up at the dollar store. And of course he provided guidance as he picked out the colours to be used.

After making one for himself when cousin E was over to play, TJ decided to make one for each of us. We have been having a wonderful time playing with our fairies for hours this past week.

They are lovely. I've had that book on my wish list for awhile, sadly my local library doesn't have a copy. Good to see some crafts from it :-)
