I warned you guys last week (when I made little fairy dolls from pipecleaners) that there would be more fairy crafts coming to the blog. It turns out that Lu's asked for a fairy birthday party, and one of the crafts she wanted to go at her birthday party was to make fairy and elf puppets. She wanted a boy fairy/elf to go with the girl fairy puppets that we made earlier this year.
At the party the kids will get to color the puppets in themselves. The template has wings drawn in, so you can make this guy either have wings...or not! (Just simply cut them off if you don't want them like I did here). And of course....I have the puppet templates for you guys here on the blog today too!

He's a cutie! Who's ready to make him?
What you'll need:
- Boy Elf/Fairy Template (or download it from the image at the bottom of this post)
- Girl Fairy Template
- 1/2 inch brass paper fasteners (also called brads)
- Dowel and tape for attaching to the bottom of the puppet
- Scissors
Start by printing out the template:

Cut out all of the pieces. If you don't want the wings, just simply cut them off.
Attach the arms and legs with brad fasteners.
Fold the fastener ends back.
If you are having a difficult time poking the brads through, you can fold the piece over a bit and use scissors to cut a small slit.
Tape a dowel or a wooden skewer to the back of your puppets if you desire.
All finished!!
I hope you enjoy this little free printable! If you make your own puppets I'd love to see them! Tag me on instagram!
Have a great week everyone! We'll be party planning over here!
XOXO, Jill
Love them. Thank you for a perfect gift for our granddaughters birthday next month. I also have to make a Koala hand puppet, so I'd better get started.

DeleteHi ! I really love your works. Can I have the template for the 3rd fairy please?
ReplyDeleteThe girl fairies come from the same template. They just use different skirt pieces :-)
