I saw these on the cover of Cloth Paper Scissors a few years ago and thought they were adorable. I have made several versions of them over the past few years. These were made with a little 2 inch tall bottle I had. I made her head with paper clay. Roll the clay into a ball. Wrap a piece of scrapbooking copper foil around a pair of needle nose pliers to make the nose. Stick it into the head. Let dry. Glitter up with rainbow superfine glitter. Make eyes with black fabric paint writers. I filled the bottle with glitter, wrapped vintage lace around the bottle for a dress, made stick arms with a white winter branch I bought at \Michael's. Make a crown out of beads stacked on a sewing pin and stuck into the head. The wings were made form a transparent pointsetta I found at the thrift store. I hot glued them to the back of the bottle, then placed an eye pin into the glue (for your hanger later) add a bit more glue and stick a decorative button in the back to cover up the wing construction. Glue the snow fairy to a mini muffin tin, and glitter the base with German glass glitter.
The one on the bottom, (sorry for the terrible photo) was made the same way, but instead of wings, I made a neck ruff with a strip of silver glitter tulle gathered into a fan shape, and glued around the back of the head.
