Directions:Â
- First things first – take some cardstock paper and cut out a circular head and another smaller circle for the “bun” of the fairy. Adhere those together.
- Use markers or paint to draw on a face on the cardstock piece.
- Add the wiggle eyes for the fairy to see. Set aside.
- Grab the burlap leaf and craft paint. Paint or color in the “dress” of the fairy in the center of the leaf {use our picture for example of where} This step is great to do on top of a large paper plate, so the paint doesn’t get all over and on your working area. Once done, set it aside to let it dry.
- Add glitter on top of the wet paint if desired.
- Now get the glue gun hot and ready.
- Staple your cardstock head to the leaf cutout.
- Now hot glue the leaf piece to a single popsicle stick.
- Add other embellishments you see fit and will complete your craft.
- Once done, set it all aside to let it dry completely before playing with your autumn leaf fairies proudly!
