"These are the materials we'll be using for our dancing fairy. You'll need a bendable straw; like this. We're going to be doing some hand sewing, so you'll need a needle and thread. You'll need a little bit of ribbon for the legs, and pipe cleaners for the arm and the body. You'll need scissors, a little bit of felt for the skirt, and some pretty ruffled trim, also for the skirt. You'll need some modeling clay; something that will dry hard, and can either be air dried or oven dried. You'll need some trim for the hair. I'm using this nice silver trim for the hair. We'll be using some little beads for decoration, and of course we'll be using glue, and scissors. We also need to have a few small beads. These are quarter inch glass beads. They'll give it a little weight. These are going to be for the feet, and you want them to be glass because they have a little more weight. I'm going to be using a quarter inch bead, and then a little bit smaller bead with it."
