I didn't make many Christmas gifts this year - it was too crazy a season for that. But when I picked up these cute (and on sale) tutus from Cotton On Kids for my cousins little girls, I was bought back to one of my own childhood Christmas'. The year my crafty Aunt created these beautiful fairy costumes for each of the younger nieces - blue for Matilda, apricot for Sarah and baby pink for the baby at the time - me. I remember loving that fairy costume so much that I knew I just had to make some monogrammed fairy wands and crowns to send to Keara and Imogen too! It was such a cheap and easy project. I already had the wands (I got mine from the local art shop) and most of the trimmings on hand. Inspired by
these beautiful crowns made by blogger Nie Nie I used some vintage book pages and song books I had on hand and went to town with all the trimmings. I loved the way they turned out!!!
Of course my little models are thousands of kilometeres away living the expat life in Dubai right now but I had Mr A help snap some pictures of me modelling the pretties so you can all see.
oh and sorry for the photo dump ... MY Santa bought me a 50mm Nikkor lens for Christmas!! It has changed my world - love love it!
