Felt & Wood Ball Winter Fairy Video Workshop
Frosty Fairy Fun
There’s a certain magic in crafting items made specifically for little hands and big imaginations. Designed with our young makers in mind, our Felt & Wood Ball Winter Fairy is the perfect project to introduce that magic to your kiddos this holiday. Our charming fairy is easy to assemble, fun to customize, and a wonderful vehicle for imaginative play. This project also marks the start of our Crafty Wonderland LIVE Holiday Workshop Series, where we’ll gather each day from Monday, November 17 through Friday, November 21, to create two festive projects together in real time. Join me and Emily at noon PT on November 17 as we kick off the series with this charming Felt and Wood Ball Winter Fairy and our playful Watercolor Ornaments.

The holidays offer a perfect opportunity to slow things down and create memories that last far beyond the decorations and hot cocoa. While perfect for our littlest crafters, these sweet frosty fairies are fun for all ages and invite the whole family to get together and set the tone for a magical week of holiday crafting.
As you work, don’t shy away from big, bold choices. While we designed our Wood Ball Winter Fairy in cool, neutral shades to reflect the season, we encourage you to bring your own vision to life. Switch up her dress color, add a cozy felt scarf, or embellish her wings with a touch of sparkle. And while she may be small in size, she’s big on personality and embodies all the wonder of the holidays.
When your Felt & Wood Ball Winter Fairy is complete, she’s ready to become a treasured keepsake, a charming ornament, or even the first in a whole collection of winter friends — and we can’t wait to see what you create! Be sure to share your fairy using #MadeWithLia or upload your photos to our crafting community. We’ll see you live on November 17 or come back for the replay!

Back to the TopThe materials list states 1.5 inch wood bead.That seems awfully big??
You are right! The container in our studio was mislabeled. Fixed. 🙂
I would love to try this one out! How big is the bead used for the head?
Isn’t it sweet? It’s a 1″ wood ball.
Can kids do this activity without too much frustration? These are very cute!
The needle felting requires some skill (and patience!) but the rest is perfect for kids 🙂
Love this I AM AN ANGEL LOVER!!
I didn’t see what black felt was used for also what was used to hang angel on tree? The little wooden balls were glued to the cotton batten and they stay attached okay? Sorry for all the questions angels are so cute I just want to make them properly. Thankyou
Feel free to ask as many questions as you want!! I love that you are so curious about making this project! We did not actually hang this from the tree, we just placed it directly onto the branches 🙂 But of course, you could easily add a little cord to turn her into a real ornament. We didn’t use any black felt, just a touch of black paint for eyes. The little beads for the feet stay attached just fine! You can just glue them directly onto the roving felt legs with hot glue and it should work out smoothly. Happy crafting! -Lia
So precious and unique!
