About this Product
A miniature dragonfly fairy ornament. Whether received as a birthday gift, tooth fairy gift, or grab bag gift, this fairy ornament will make anyone smile!
Standing at 1 1/2" tall this little fairy decoration dangles from a 1/2" split ring so that she can be attached to a zipper pull, attached to a package/wine bottle, hung in a window or just about any place else you can think of.

There's no guarantee that her fairy dust will bring fame, fortune, or happiness, but she's sure to make you smile each time you see her! For size reference please see the photos. The mannequin hand is the same size as my hand and I am a 5'9" female.

Meet the Maker
Even though I'm a middle school science teacher, my colleagues always say I'm a frustrated art teacher.
I. need. to. create.
In my classroom any excuse is good enough to have students using colored pencils or making models.
As I always tell my students, my first love was biology. I never took Earth Science in high school. Boy did I ever miss out. Who knew there were so many beautiful stones and gems that could be turned into beautiful pieces of art? I often think that if I'd been exposed to rocks and minerals earlier in life I might have followed a different career path. I do believe you'll always find what you love. So when the school day is done and the weekend (or summer!) comes around my hands and brain are always busy creating.
More recently I joined the knitting club at my school. I sat with some 6th and 7th grade girls and boys and learned to knit alongside them. A few of my knitted creations have found their way into my shop. Keep an eye out for more!
How it’s Made
Handmade with love and care! Fairies are made by me using glass beads, metal beads and wire. Pliers are used to shape and wrap the metal wire arms and legs and then colorful glass seed beads are individually placed onto them. The arms, legs, skirt bead, wings, and hat are all placed onto a “wire backbone” to create the finished fairy.

Caring for Handmade Jewelry:
With proper care, you will be able to enjoy your jewelry for years to come. You will love the look and feel of your handmade jewelry, so go ahead and indulge yourself!
Follow these three easy steps to prolong the life of your handmade jewelry
1. Clean regularly
The more often you wear something, the more often it will need to be cleaned; wearing jewelry will introduce it to the oils from your skin and the chemicals of things you touch.
Clean your jewelry on a regular basis with mildly sudsy water. Rinse well and pat dry. Easily clean and polish sterling silver with basic toothpaste and an old toothbrush.
2. Prevent damage:
Jewelry is scratch resistant but not scratch proof. Never wear your jewelry while swimming, sunbathing or cleaning; extensive exposure to saltwater, sunlight or harsh chemicals can permanently damage your handmade jewelry.
Always remove your handmade jewelry before lifting heavy items or doing strenuous work that could potentially damage it.
3. Store properly:
Do not store your jewelry in the open air or humidity for extended periods of time. This will cause it to tarnish quickly. To protect your handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, store them in a zip-lock plastic bag. In addition to protecting it from tarnishing, the plastic zip-lock bag will keep it from getting scratched. Do not store your jewelry with rubber materials (like rubber bands) and other metals (such as pennies).
Caring for Handmade Knits:
Hand washing in cool water and air-drying flat is always best for any handmade knit item. A natural-fiber soap is recommended.
Many acrylic and washable wool items state that it is safe to use the gentle cycle in your washing machine with cool water. Remember: friction is the enemy! Use ample water and/or a mesh bag to allow the piece to wash and not rub up against itself.
Again, many acrylic and washable wools say that they're fine to put in the dryer, but I recommend air drying flat just as you would something washed by hand.
