Directions:
Step 1
Create a basic fairy doll body using floral wire and some embroidery thread with this video tutorial, then wrap an embroidery thread around the top and waist to clothe the fairy’s body and wrap a different color of thread around the waist for the sash. Pull the flowers apart, then arrange and line them up with the largest petal at the bottom and the smallest at the top, and fold the group of petals in half.

Step 2
Cut an “X” at the center, then slide the petals into the doll one at a time starting from the smallest ones up to the largest, and make sure to dab a tiny amount of hot glue in between each layer to keep them in place. Gather the ends of the doll’s hair together, then hot glue them to the back of the head, and decorate the doll’s hat as shown in the video before attaching it to the doll’s head.
