How to Make a Super Cute Fall Fairy Paper Craft with Free Printable Template

Directions

1. Cut out the pieces for our fairy craft from cardstock paper using the PDF templates. For younger children and toddlers, print and cut everything before hand so they can get started straight away. For slightly older kids, they can use this as an opportunity to work on their cutting skills. Using scissors is a great fine motor work out! Depending on your child’s level, you could have your preschooler cut out the easier shapes like the big rectangle with straight lines, and help them out with the slightly trickier ones.
2. Take the long rectangular paper, and fold it into accordion folds. This is another step that’s great fine motor practice for little hands.
3. Next, take the front hair (fringes) and glue it on the top front of the fairy’s head using the pieces that you have cut out in step 1.
4. Next, glue the back of the hair behind the head so that the fairy’s hair flows down behind her
5. Then, glue the top part of the fairy’s dress’s on top of her body.
6. Now you are ready to glue the accordion folded skirt on the bottom, and you can see the Autumn fairy paper craft is starting to shape up really well.
7. Then, you will need to glue the fairy’s hands and legs on to her body.
8. After that, you’re ready to join the fairy’s wings on to her back using glue. A simple glue stick like pritt-stick will work great for this craft, or if you prefer you can use a white glue like PVA glue, and a glue spreader.
9. Once, you’ve added the fairy wings, glue on the eyes and use marker pens to draw the face on the fairy. Kids can use their creativity to make her pretty face exactly how they would like it. Add a nice smile, and some rosy cheeks.
10. Next, take the leaf crown and start glueing each of the leaves on to the crown strip.
11. Finish glueing all the leaves to complete your fairy craft.
