Using recycled materials make fairy craft very easy and means that it won’t cost a fortune.

Make a fairy garden

If you have a backyard which permits a small fairy garden. Decorate some rocks or collect some cute flowers. Use pop sticks to write special cards and add some finishing touches with some fairy figurines if you have any at home 

Make a pasta necklace 

Use your fairy magic to turn boring pasta into colourful beads which are perfect for a necklace/bracelet. You can make a creation for yourself or even for your favourite soft toy.
You will need;

  • 1 large jar filled with 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • Food dye
  • Tray lined with baking paper
  • Uncooked pasta – any shape with a hole is perfect
  • String
  • Scissors

Mix the liquid ingredients together first. Mix the vinegar and  water and add in a few drops of dye or paint. Next add the pasta into the bowl of liquid and leave it for 20 minutes.

You can repeat this step and use different colours in a different jar.
You can take a piece out to test if it is ready. If the colour is too light, leave it to soak for longer or try add more dye to the water.

Allow your pasta to dry on the lined tray once it is ready to dry. Drying usually takes about 30 minutes depending on the weather.

Next it is time to get the string cut to your desired length. Make it long enough to pop over your head if you will be wearing it as a necklace or if it is for your favourite teddy, you can make the string shorter.  Tie your string through one of your pieces of pasta, and tie a knot. This will help keep your other pasta beads from sliding off the string when you thread them on.

Now you can choose the colour pattern and style of your pasta necklace and thread your beads. Once complete, tie a knot in the end.
Can’t wait to see what you create!
