You will need:A Hot Glue Gun
Fake Leaves (I prefer rose leaves)
Satin Ribbon
Flowers and Crystals (optional)
First pull off the plastic backs of several leaves. This will make them easier to work with and softer.
Arrange them around until you like the design. I measured the space between my daughter's eyes and made a few adjustments right before gluing.
Lift each leaf one at a time and apply a thin line of hot glue where the leaves overlap. When the entire front side is glued flip it over and glue three strips of ribbon on both sides for the ties.
Then cover the glue and strings with another leaf on each side. The ribbon is sandwiched between two leaves.
I accented the front with two cherry blossoms and my daughter chose heart centers. I would have went with dainty flat back pearls but it IS her mask. You can add glitter, line the eyes with crystals or anything her heart desires.
My camera shy little loves masks. Give her a mask and she goes from blushing darling to camera diva.
Leaves create the most realistic fairy costumes. So save them! Once you have enough you can create magical leaf covered photo frames, gift boxes or even complete fairy costumes.
A very special thank you to Red Bird Photography for sharing this amazing shot of the leaf fairy wings I designed for her fantasy fairy sessions. I hope you have a magical day!!

Oh my TuTu's Bliss........everytime that I think that I'm a little creative I read your posts and feel inadequate. You're giving me a complex, lol.
That's one of the sweetest things that I've ever seen and leave it to you my friend :)
I can just see this on your darling beautiful child. Girl, when she gets older, you're gonna be beating them off with a stick. (I just let my husband kill the first one and let word get around).
My oldest, our only son turns 24 years old today. I can't believe it!!
Treasure, treasure, treasure these days when they are little.

These were so magical! I would have LOVED these as a child! And the photo of the baby with the wings so reminds me of Anne Geddes -- I just love her photos! One of my dreams when I had my son was to have Anne Geddes photograph him in all her creative ways. What a lovely little blog you have here!

Thanks a lot.
Seriously, great job!
That is beautiful. We will definitely be doing this in our near future.
This is the perfect project for our Fairy themed Easter party! ThAnK yOu!
Oh My Goodness! My little one is just turning 2 this month, so she isn't quite aware of girly things yet,(plays with her brother's trains) but I just know that she will think these masks are heavenly in a year or so. I wish I had some of these when I was a little girl.
Awwwww, what's more adorable than a nekkid fairy!!
Beautiful masks and so clever. I'll have to remember this the next time the need arises. That doesn't happen too often but one never knows.
This is beautiful! I've been looking for projects to celebrate spring with my kids and this is perfect! Thanks. :)
