In this example, the flower stamens
form a natural halo around
the fairy's hair.
 Additional
Ideas:
- Use iridescent paints or rhinestones on the fairy's wings.
- Arrange a grouping of silk flowers with a whole family of fairies.
- Expand on this idea using angel wings instead of butterfly wings.
- Add a fairy to an artificial poinsettia for a holiday theme.

 airies and flowers just go together, and
this project is no exception. It starts with a 3.5" diameter
artificial peony on a wire stem. You could substitute almost any variety
of silk flower approximately the same size, as long as it has multiple
layers of petals. Mold and bake one head and two wings in Fimo Flesh.
 
This Angel Flower is also made with the
Butterfly Angel Push Mold
Check the Painting Tips at
this site for step-by-step photos on how to paint polymer clay with
transparent acrylic paints. Use Arts & Crafts Goop to attach the
finished wings between the flower's petals. If your flower has a raised
center, remove it before gluing the head. This project is displayed
in a 2.8" terra cotta flower pot.
