Whimsical Wood Flower Fairy


Flower Fairies are a cute project for many reasons. They make lovely little dolls, great garden decorations, and can even be turned into ornaments. The gifting possibilities are practically endless. I have even decorated gift bags with these little fairies. Lots of crafters have crafting flowers and are not really sure what to do with them. You do not have to feel restricted to sticking them in a vase or hanging them on a wreath. Flower Fairies make a great project for kids and are easy to personalize with different types of flowers and painted wooden pegs. Enjoy coming up with other uses for Flower Fairies!
