What type of pinecones work best?

Any medium to large pinecones will work well, as they provide a sturdy base for your fairy.

Can I use other materials?

Absolutely, feel free to use any colorful crafting materials you have on hand!

Consider using a sealant spray if you're placing them outdoors to protect them from elements.

Store them in a box or container that's lined with tissue paper to prevent them from getting crushed.

Allow glue to dry completely before moving your fairies; this usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour.

Prepare the pinecone: Start with a clean pinecone. This will serve as the body of your fairy.
Cut out shapes: Using colored paper, cut out small shapes for the fairy’s hat and skirt.
Glue the skirt: Attach the circular paper skirt to the bottom of the pinecone with craft glue.
Attach the hat: Glue the triangle-shaped hat to the top of the pinecone.
Add eyes and other features: Stick on the googly eyes and any other decorations.

Consider pre-cutting shapes for younger kids and using a small piece of cardboard for stability.
