JOY & WONDER SERIES: Spring Felt Fairy Tutorial
Let’s Felt!
Crafting is a wonderful way to stay present and engaged with our kiddos - the trick is to keep it simple! Felt is an ideal material to work with because it’s soft, tactile, easy to manipulate and it comes in a fantastic array of colors.
Jes Anthonis of Mosey Handmade has put together a sweet felt project for you all – a Spring Fairy Peg Doll!
Our Spring Fairy Peg Doll tutorial is perfect for little hands, and easy enough for ages 3 and up with adult supervision. These peg dolls are perfect for your nature table or mantel or can be pocket companions on all your adventures!
You will need:
- Sheets of wool-blend felt (we love Benzie Designs Mosey Palette!)
- Sharp scissors
- Wooden peg dolls (we used "Adult 2 3/8" x 7/8") - available at your local crafts store
- 1/4 inch ribbon or bakers twine
- Fairy/Butterfly wing pattern (download ours here!)
- Trace and cut out wing pattern
- Cut holes where you will place the ribbon (for children under 6, parent help needed)
- Thread ribbon through the back two holes and across the wooden peg and back through the bottom hole
- Tie in a snug bow at the back of your fairy
- Take her outside and play!
Benzie Design sells all things wool felt and is generously providing a custom color palette for this week’s giveaway! Mosey Handmade sources many of their felt from Benzie including their pompoms. Make sure to check out Benzie Design's felt tutorials on their blog!

The spring colors are beautiful! My girls (ages 8 and 12) just started making peg dolls by painting them… I think they’d love to make some butterflies!
Great tutorial and giveaway! I love Benzie felt!
Oh my word, such a sweet craft to do with the littles! Thank you so much for hosting this generous giveaway!
These are so sweet!
Those little felt fairies are to die for. Would be such a cute party favor for my little ones upcoming birthday party!
