Fairy Tale in a Glass Bottle - DIY Birthday Gift for Little Girls

Fairy Tale in a Glass Bottle - DIY Birthday Gift for Little Girls

Hey! This is a cute thing I made for my little niece recently. She is 5 years old and very cute. She has recently become obsessed with fairy tales and lights, so I decided to make a "little fairy in a glass jar" as a gift for her. She can chat with her best friend and share her little secrets!~

First, I had to choose a perfectly shaped glass jar. I found one from the kitchen room and grabbed a separate piece of tracing paper, brushes and glue.

I took a piece of tracing paper and laid it out on a flat surface. I chose tracing paper because its thin and translucent, so you can see the fairies inside. Then I added a few drops of water to the glue and used a brush to spread the glue on the glass jar.

Add tracing paper to it, covering the entire canson. Let dry for 3-4 hours.

I searched online to get the perfect picture of a fairy for a jar, printed it onto black paper and cut it out.

Then I stuck it inside a glass jar.

To make it look nice, I also prepared twine, gold wire and decorative keys. I tied the string to the jar, then the gold thread, and threaded the key through the gold thread.

To make the paper flowers, I took a piece of paper and cut it into the shape shown in the picture.

Then roll it up to look like a flower.

When I was happy with the look, I made it official using colored paper 30cm long and 2 inches wide, choosing yellow and black.

Adhere the paper flowers to the side of the bottle and put in the LED lights.
