Step 1
Lay a sheet of Christmas wrapping paper on the table. Set a large round object on the paper and trace around it to make a circle that covers most of the sheet. If you use a compass, set something under the paper to protect the surface of the table.
-
Step 2
Mark the center of the circle. Cut a straight line from the edge to the center. Use the pinking shears or decorative edgers to cut the outer edge of the circle.
-
Step 3
Cut a l2-inch length of gold-colored wire. Loosely fold it in half. Make a 1- to 2-inch loop in the center of the wire for the fairy's head.
-
Step 4
Hold the paper in a cone shape. Insert the fairy's head into the center of the circle. Wrap an 8-inch long piece of wire around the center section of the paper to hold the fairy's head in place.
-
Step 5
Make two identical wings for your fairy from identical pieces of wire. Wrap the wire wings with feathery ribbon or yarn. Attach the wings to the back of the fairy's body with tape or wire. Place the fairy on top of your Christmas tree.
