Materials

  • Wooden peg dolls (10–12 cm tall)
  • Dried moss (small handful per fairy)
  • Felt sheets or fabric scraps (light blue, gold, and green)
  • Acorn caps or mini hats (3 pcs)
  • Egg carton or paper petals for wings (cut into 6–8 cm shapes)
  • Twine or embroidery thread
  • Small round wood slices (7–8 cm diameter for bases)
  • Acrylic paint (for faces and body details)
  • Hot glue gun

Instructions

  • Begin by painting each wooden peg doll with soft, earthy tones to create the fairy’s outfit. Let them dry completely before moving on.
  • Cut out wing shapes from egg cartons or thick paper, then lightly paint them with watercolor or glitter for a magical shimmer.
  • Glue moss onto each wooden slice to create a lush fairy base. Then press gently to ensure it adheres well.
  • Attach the wings to the back of each peg doll, securing them with glue. Then wrap twine around the body or waist to add texture and a rustic look.
  • Add accessories like acorn caps, felt cloaks, or tiny buttons to personalize each fairy.
  • Finally, glue each fairy to its moss-covered base and let everything set for at least 15 minutes.
