FAIRY FIRES + WANDS

 

It is almost time for the school's big event of the year - the Spring Fair. Each child has been asked to contribute in some way and we were asked to make Fairy Fires and Fairy Wands. They were quite simple to make, and if you don't have the same resources you could easily adapt them - using cardboard or felt instead of the circular pieces of wood. And you could you make one of these fairy wands or a star wand too.

FAIRY WANDS

Sticks

Hooks

Drill

Ribbon

1. Cut sticks to the required length, using a saw. Drill a hole into the end and screw in a hook.

2. Tie a ribbon from the end.

FAIRY FIRES

Wood (or you could use cardboard - painted, coloured or plain - or felt) 

Small river stones

Felting wool (or you could use pieces of coloured cellophane)

Hot glue gun

1. Cut wood into discs - about 8mm thick - using a saw.

2. Using a hot-glue gun, attach river stones into a circle formation on the wooden disc, leaving enough room for the fire in the middle.

3. Pull three fine strands of felting wool (using red, yellow and orange) and fold in half. Glue into the centre of the disk.
