Oh lordy. Don’t procrastinate too much longer.
Mod podge does better cured for a couple weeks.
(Yes it’s Mod not Modge)
Oh they have sparkle Mod podge. Hides tiny errors and looks fairy-ish! Win!
There are many, so many. It does take a bit to dry fully. I use minwax and modpodge.
If I had until June, I’d… have waited until May to think about it.
… definitely hand-paint them. I’d so much rather have a less-than-perfect fairy that I knew was hand-made by a participant in the Womynsfest.
A good middle ground might be to Cricut a fairy shape of blank white or pastel paper, then paint and seal.
If you are thinking you might like to paint, you can make multi-layer stencils in photoshop and then port them to cricut.
As much as I would love to do a them a bit fancy or pain them myself, I’m simply not artistically talented enough! But I’ve made a list based on some of the suggestions here and I’m heading to Michael’s to pick up some things and give it a go.
I’d do the cricut fairy stencil, then some acrylic dot painting around that:
That looks amazing!
It’s ridiculously easy to do (if you have the right tools, which are not expensive):
That requires both some artistic ability and access to a Cricut machine (which appears to cost about $400).
My local library has them in the maker space.
Might as well make it 151 rocks:

It’s extra special because they found it in the future!
I didn’t know that but Googling, my local library also has them. Still, there’s a learning curve and given that ready-made fairy-theme stencils are available for a couple of bucks, I think that’s a better choice.
