Yarn Fairy Worry Doll
I made a small yarn worry doll. The main reason for this was just to test my fiber arts skills, and it certaintly did that. This project was a bit challenging, but the end result was worth it!
Supplies
- Lots of Yarn
- Wire Cutters
- 20 Gauge Wire
- Hot Glue Gun
- Beads and Other Findings
- Scissors
Wire
Cut four pieces of wire 9.5", 7", 5.5", and 3.5" long.
Bending the Wire
Bend the longest piece of wire into a shape that looks like round glasses, bend the second longest one into a triangle; the second shortest one should be folded in half. The shortest piece of wire should be in a circle.
Forming the Body
Take the triangle piece and put the folded-in-half piece's fold in the top. Twist the outer parts around the fold to make "arms" and secure the attachment. Hot glue it.
Attach the Head
With a generous amount of hot glue, attach the head to the body.
Start Weaving
Weave around the arms and head with yarn of one color. Hot glue to secure the weave and to make sure the yarn sticks on the head.
Continue Weaving
weave the body with a different color yarn, using hot glue to assist you as needed.
Wings
Take the last wire shape (the glasses shape) and wrap the string around the frame of the wings. AFTER this is done, use hot glue to attach them to the back of your fairy.
Decorate
Add hair, beads, and whatever else you want to jazz up this project.
