Shiny fairy meets upcycling! Sometimes all it takes is a little imagination, a touch of glitter and - who would have thought it - an ordinary egg carton to create something truly magical. With our Shiny Magic Mix, you can transform simple cardboard into shimmering little fairies in no time at all that look like they've fluttered straight out of a sparkling forest.
Their wings glisten in the light like tiny raindrops full of color, their dresses shimmer in pastel shades and their smiles radiate pure fairy joy. Each little fairy becomes truly unique in your hands - sometimes playful, sometimes elegant, sometimes colorful. And the best thing is that you are also doing something good for the environment, because an old egg carton becomes a new little work of art, whether as a shimmering light catcher in the window that makes the sunlight sparkle in rainbows or as a pretty eye-catcher in the children's room. Our fairies instantly conjure up a little lightness and sparkle in any room. So: grab the mix, prepare the egg carton, get the glitter ready and let the magic begin!
Trace the individual parts onto the colored clay paper or Shiny Magic Paper with a pencil and cut them out.
Cut out a circle with a diameter of approx. 12 cm from the thin foil for the skirt and fold it according to the instructions.
Place the skirt section from the template under your folded foil and carefully cut out the ruffles and opening for the skirt.
Cut out two tips from the inside of the egg carton for the body and skirts of the fairies. Then cut an approx. 1 cm opening for the fairies' bodies and paint them with the folia craft paints.
Place the thin foil skirt around the top of your egg carton and carefully glue it down at the top.
Glue all the pieces for the fairies' heads together and paint the faces.
Now glue the legs and body into the egg carton and attach the wings.
Finally, you can cut out a few flowers as scattered flowers or as a garland.
