Sugarplum Fairy Kits

Two of my favorite things in the whole world? Fairies and Christmas! (that includes grand fairies, too, of course)

I'd started out making angels, but as I worked on them, they became Sugarplum Fairies.  Although, if you look at them right, they make sweet little cherubs too.

Something else that I love- THE GOOD STUFF!

I do not believe in saving my best supplies for something better.  As I always say, if a project is worth my time, it is worth the BEST supplies.  And I figure you'll agree with me, that these sparkly sprites deserve to don their best for the holiday season, right?  

Kits are $18-$22 (Mercy is a bit more, she has a larger tree and the flocked wallpaper)

Each girl gets a very, very vintage silk ribbon flower from my stash of prized pretties.

The pictures I used are all old sepia ones that I edited, sized, and printed on high quality photo paper.

And all of the mercury glass beads for the little trees are authentic.

There will be shiny rhinestones, some of my favorite old wallpapers, and lots of other pretty things to work with, including hand illustrated instructions to follow. I've done a basic set of instructions, then listed each of the girls separate.  The sprite that you order will be circled on the instructions, but you can also look through the directions for the other girls in case that gives you some ideas for creating your lil fairy.

Each kit offers the choice of making a magic wand for your Sugarplum Fairy to hold, or a mini tree instead. If you don't want to put the tree into her hand, you can sit it on the little gift that you'll wrap in vintage paper.

The kits come with trees too. You have the option to decorate a spool for the tree to set on, or use it as is with the white base, like here.  

I've included a spoonful of mica flakes to add some snowy sparkly too.

(the bottle brush trees are already mica-ed up for you)

The girls all have white feather wings to honor all the Christmas angels watching over us.

(you could add a touch of glitter to them if you'd like)

This girl, Constance Joy, comes in ivory or pink, but on both, I've provided some gorgeous, gold metallic wallpaper to use on her base.

While Mercy stands on plush, pink, flocked paper.

You will back them with card stock that I have printed with Jingle Bells sheet music.

Because it is important for a project to look just as good from all angles, right?

My studio is filled with these darlings right now.  I've loved making them, even more that I did the little Witchy Girls I had whipped up for Halloween. I probably enjoyed making them a little too much, by the looks of this room... I might have to list some finished ones to sell too.  

Or just keep them and love them.

Too fragile things for a gift
