Snow fairy paper doll

Hello, design elf Katrina here to show you my latest project I have been working on for The Fruit Pixie

  I always enjoy making paper dolls and I used to love to play with them as a child. I hadn’t made one
in a while so, inspired by the beautiful costumes of Korea being shown during the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, I decided to make Snow Fairy.





To start with you need a doll to dress. I used the medium art doll rubber stamp plate from The Artistic Stamper. 
I stamped them onto watercolour paper. If you don’t want the stamped lines to show then stamp onto what will be the back and then just turn them over and swap sides if it is an arm or leg.

I decided to use watercolour paint to colour the body bits that would show.

For her hair I added an extra piece of watercolour paper to the back of her head and then drew and painted her hair with watercolour.

I wanted a nice icy feel the feel of the paper I used for her dress and coat so I chose the Craft Consortium Winter Woodland papers


Of course every fairy has to have a wand and wings.

The wings I cut using my Silhouette Cameo electronic cutting machine and then used some of the 
IndigoBlu Megaflakes to give a bit of sparkle.

For her wand I cut out the styalised flowers and built them up to look like a snowflake.



She was then ready to sprinkle her snow! I didn’t quite expect so much!!

If you would like to make a snow fairy like mine you can find the
