Fairies: Petal People You Make Yourself 
2008-08-10
This book has been used over and over again. My granddaughter and I have had hours of fun making fairies with this easy to read book.
Our least favorite Klutz book

Our opinion is the dissenting one, but we really didn't like this kit one bit. In fact, we put it away in frustration last summer, then got it out this summer to try again. Now, my 8-yr-old daughter and I are despising it all over again this year.
Why? (1) The wires that are supposed to make up the fairy legs tend to unravel. Once they do, you can't use them (we're currently waiting for the glue to dry as we tried to glue the covering back to the wire.) (2) The embroidery thread came pre-tangled, saving us the trouble of making our own mess out of it. (3) The gold embroidery thread unravels while you're using it. (4) Not much room for using your imagination . . . you're really just choosing from a very few pre-selected pieces of artificial flowers and a half dozen fuse-bead-sized beads. (5) The bits are small and finicky and require excellent dexterity and vision. (6) There aren't nearly enough flower pieces to make lavish fairies like those pictured on the cover of the book.
Finally, after all the frustration and fuss of the dealing with tiny beads, unraveling wire, tangled floss, and skimpy selection of flower pieces etc, the end result is a disappointment. What'cha gonna do with a lumpy, unraveling, glue-globbed, half-dressed mess of a flower fairy?
Very Easy & Fun for Kids and Adults!!

These fairies are so easy to make and very fun! Everything you need,even glue,comes in this kit except hair.If you have yarn or ribbon you will be all set,or you can draw on the hair and glue a hat made from almost anything you can think up on top. The only tools suggested are nail clippers for cutting the floral wire and small plires or tweezers to help in bending.I also like to make jewelry and already had all of the wire bending and cutting tools.You can get a set of them in the craft section and they are inexpensive.My daughter and I love doing crafts together and this is something we both enjoyed making.You do not have to be crafty to make these fairies and I think they would be an awesome scool project for teachers.All of the supplies you need to make these are inexpensive and can be easily found at craft stores.A few ideas had for these fairies is maybe get some of the little floral stakes and attatch them to put in potted plants,or they could be scaled down and used as jewelry or hair accessories.They would also look very cute decorating a gift or card.Highly reccomend this book for a fun evening!!

I love this book, it provided entertainment for my daughter and myself. That and she loves the little fairies! Thanks!
SO incredibly fun! Best Klutz book yet! 2007-01-19
My 7 year old loved loved loved this book. It came with tons and tons of great pages to make all kinds of fairies. Easy, yet creative! I also love that Klutz gives you tons of other ideas of how to make fairies without the products included. They are basically getting you started with the products provided in the book, then they show you tons of other great fairy making ideas. Possibilites are endless! Yay for Klutz!
Excellent for a Fairy Party 2006-03-30
A craft book packaged with all the supplies you need to make a dozen little fairy dolls dressed in petal-perfect style. It's surprisingly easy to turn the included beads, embroidery floss, florist's wire and fabric faux flower petals into a pack of pixie pals.
HALLELUJAH!!!! 2005-11-24
I got this book at the FAO SHUWRAZ toy store at Caesar Palace in Las Vegas yesterday. I'm 12 years old, and I was there for vacation with my friend, brother, and some parents. I got kind of bored, so I walked around and randomly walked to this place on the second floor where they were selling KLutz crafts and books. Then my eyes fell on this book. I immeadiately began to read it. I LOVED IT! The fairies were adorable, and I've loved fairies ever since I was little. I got my mom to buy this for me, and today, I tried to make my first fairy. I thought it was going to be hard, but it turned out great and extremely cute! I recommend this craft for anyone who enjoys creating things and loves fantasy creatures, especially fairies.

This book is for my Granddaugther, she loved it.The condition was very good and I recieved it in a timly manor.
great brownie activity 2005-05-09
I am a girlscout leader, and to earn one of our try-its we made tooth fairy pouches. When I went looking to a small fairy emblem or charm to attach to the pouches I couldn't find anything suitable until I came across this book. It was perfect. I used the book and directions to make a prototype and then I bought extra supplies so that each girl could make her own fairy. They loved it. The first graders needed a great deal of guidance, the second graders needed a little help, but the third graders were very independent with the activity. Therefore I would suggest this kit for a child age 7 or older.
Fantasticly Fun! 2004-12-31
I love this kit! Well, it's true I like all klutz kits, but this is my favorite I have done. The first time I got this kit I liked it so much I got it again the next year. And this year I got it even again with a Barnes and Nobles giftcard. This is so much fun, and it is very addicting. You can make little flower fairies the way you want to. Create a little body with light or dark bendable material, then make a small shirt with floss or little beads. Built up a skirt with cloth flower petals then make a head with a face or no face, hair or no hair, and a small flower or leaf cap or not. You choose it all. The variations are endless, you could use things from your craft bin or just the kit. This has been a hit with my family and I for years, and if you get it, I bet a million dollars you will like it too.
