Clothespin Fairies and Princes









The clothes and hats for the fairies were cut from wool felt, using flower-shaped dies in a die cutter. The costumes for the princes were cut by hand -- rectangles for the tunic and cloak, and a long rectangle with points cut out for the crown. Some of the clothespins were stained with brown acrylic paint (before adding the felt) in order to create a range of skin tones. The hair is wool roving.

Put together with a combination of sewing and glue.
