Got little girls?
Need a party idea?
Well look no further!
How about a Flower Fairy Party? It is cute for a wide age group, it is interactive, and it isn’t an expensive party to have! You can do this right at home. All you need is some imagination (provided here :D), some cardstock, and a few other supplies you may already have.
My little Amber is turning 4 this August. I have been getting ready with Party Planning ideas (yes already-time is ticking). I LOVE planning my kids parties. That is part of why I got into rubber stamping And why I took cake decorating classes last year (only made one cake since LOL!).
I asked her what she wanted for her party theme-she said I want to make Flower Fairies. Read on to see where that idea came from.
In reality we are having a Spa party for Amber, but I LOVE sharing great ideas (and HELLO I have another daughter who I really may use this for instead-she will be 9) so figured I’d give it a go. You can see later what I pull together for that SPA party!! Im already so excited.
Even if you aren’t having a Flower Fairy Party this is still a super activity for when a friend comes over-or a fun activity to MAIL!!! You can print off the directions/photos here to send with a gift for those LONG distance birthday’s.
Here we go!
The best thing about this party idea is it is totally interactive. From age 3 and up your daughter can help with the entire process!! Let her do the punching paper, and putting the supplies together. Once you keep reading you will find all sorts of fun things she can help with (stress free). Amber helped with most of this party planning. She loves helping in my craft room.
Here is what you would do to plan ANY great party.
Pick the theme– well we already decided here it is a Flower Fairy theme. I would go one step ahead with this one and ask the girls to dress up like fairies!! Some sort of attire with wings 😀
Have your child pick a main color . With this particular party you could definitely do a different color for each guest-but the easiest thing would be to do ONE main color.
Amber changes her favorite color daily! Today it was red. She will be the perfect crafter since she loves ALL colors.
Choose a date, time, place. Once that is done you need to plan the invitation! For this party I thought a FLOWER shaped invite would be best! They are cute and simple.
Here is the back-
I used Lizzie Anne’s-It’s a Party set ( I ADORE this set for party invites!!! Its one of the ONLY party invite sets I own that I actually USE!) I also uses Papertrey Ink Simple Alphabet for Amber’s name (and would use to spell out party info). I have messy handwriting so would never write in the info. You can also print info on your computer.
I just punched the red cardstock with theMarvy Giga Flower punch. I stamped the party info in red ink onto lemon tart cardstock, and punched with a large Fiskars circle punch.
I then layered a green pipe cleaner , folded in 1/2 (tied with ribbon as leaves) in between the front and back of the invite.
Now your invitation should give people insight to the party theme, and what the party will be like! We decided to make it a much more fun invitation 😀 Your child would LOVE handing these out to friends. If mailing they can usually fit a buisness size envelope.
We put our flower into a home made Pixie Stixs holder! Now that is fun! AND EASY.
Just pick a double sided cardstock that coordinates with your theme.
Cut cardstock 12 X 3 1/2.
Score 2 inches from the bottom, round corners, and make pocket. Then decorate as desired!
For the main character we used Dress Up Lily (or Dress Up Amber in this case, since this set can be personalized with your child’s name!). This set is the perfect Fairy. We colored her to match our flower fairies we are making. You could even let the girls you invite do the coloring instead 😀 Just leave Lily blank.
Pick a cake theme-this one is pretty easy. I would do a flower shaped cake or a cake with a bunch of pretty flowers. Maybe stick the flower fairies in the cake for decoration.
Accessories-You would get Flower shaped plates, or plates with a garden theme, and colorful napkins.
Buy plastic/paper cups in the color of your flower theme. Punch a flower, to match the accessories, and put it on the front of each cup-labeled with the child’s name (so they know who has what cup :D). This is when a Label maker comes in handy!! Use the clear labels and you can print several at a time!
Decorate your napkins by wrapping your tableware in there, then rolling them up, and secure with flower rings. Add girls name to center to double as little flower place settings.
Here are the napkin rings:
I just punched out the Giga Flower in red cardstock. Layered with the SU! Scallop punched from Lemon Tart, them my flower center is Spring Moss.
I then cut a strip 1 1/2 inches wide by 8 1/2 inches long- from Spring Moss cardstock. I put the ends together, then secured it closed with a brad. I trimmed the ends to look like leaves, and bent them to the side. Added flower to front-DONE!
Another fun tip-for a party banner.
You could punch a row of flowers. Before assembling like above-string through ribbon in the flower centers, then assemble like above. Die cut letter to spell your child’s name or Happy Birthday!
Party Favors-These are usually small thank yous to give out after the party. Don’t over do it.
These favors are fun, easy and inexpensive! They use just ONE sheet of cardstock. That is about 0.22 CENTS!! You can’t buy anything that looks like this for THAT price.
The box ties in the flower and color theme. It is also a fun way to present our party activity!
I created this using my scallop nestabilties (yes I did do other little baskets just like this at a class last month-see that HERE!).
Just die cut 4 layers of scallops. (2 large for the front/back), then 2 smaller layering scallops for flower basket front. Snip the scallop edges, layer, and put a flower center. Create the side by cutting a 8 X 3 pieces
Along 3 inch-score at 1/2 inch on either side.
Along 8 inch-score at 3-then 5. Snip sides then adhere.
I got these FUN ladybug chocolates from Lindt, so I attached them to the front of the boxes with glue dots. Cute touch!
Pick an activity! This is very important when planning any party! What fun activity can you do, that not only ties in the party theme, but is fun?
Better yet, try to pick one to DOUBLE as your party favor. Often times we spend a lot on a party, then add too many $1 goodies that begin to really add up!
Flower Fairy Friends Activity
Above you can see the party activity (fits into the flower box) all gathered, and ready to go with all the supplies each child needs.
I just bought a roll of Tulle for a $1, Placed my little items in small glassine bags, wrapped my goodies in there. I used the same punched flower layers as my other projects for the closure. I just punched a hole in the flower center, and pulled through the tulle to keep pocket closed 😀 Cute, and easy.
ACTIVITY-Make your own Flower Fairy Friends!!
Amber saw these little clothespin Fairy things in a upscale children’s store, and they were like $10 EACH!!! Needless to say we did NOT buy those. I looked at them and knew I could make my own, and I have to say they came out even better than the store ones-as theirs were mainly yarn.
Flower Fairy
You want to assemble supplies for each girl to make 2 Fairies. Then they have Fairy FRIENDS!!!
Here is what you need.
Redline tape. Mono multi, Sharpie marker in Fairy color of choice. Glue dots, and dimensional glue dots
2 wooden clothes pins (sold in a pack of 30 for $2.99)
Googlie Eyes (it is best for you to pre-glue the eyes, and make the smile face-depending on age) You can get a large bag for about a $1. You want the smaller eyes.
7 strips of yarn per clothes pin (so 14 for 2 fairies) You can get a large roll of $0.99
Bling-for the crowns. He we used silver snowflake (cut in 1/2 to get 2 crowns). You can use a variety of other things, or opt nor no crowns even.
Wire- ends bent in on both sides for the hands/arms (2 per kit)
2 pieces of wide adhesive ribbon. You can use a variety of things, this is what I found to be easiest. Especially for the younger girls. I used Martha Stewart adhesive ribbon for this since it matched Amber’s color theme. You don’t need much to get many fairies!!
EK Success giga butterfly punch. Punched 2 pink vellum butterflies per fairy (so 4 per kit) The head/tail will be trimmed off. Pink vellum from Martha Stewart.
2 Felt flowers or fabric flowers. These are usually sold several in a package. Mine are American Crafts.
(not shown) floss (thick thread for cross stitcher) in color to match to tie pony tails-that is optional
Photo of supplies for ONE fairy below:
Directions: Click to enlarge photos
Step 1-remove backing from adhesive ribbon-wrap around clothespin body
Step 2-Place wire on back-cover with dimensional glue dot
Step 3-Snip head/tail off vellum butterflies. Adhere to back. Layer second one.
Step 4-Snip a larger slit into your flowers (you may pre-cut these), for your fairy to slide on skirt
Step 5-Use redline tape, and put on front and back of clothes pin head. 4 strips of yarn for top of head, 3 for back (redline tape can be done ahead as well) May need help tying into pony tails. Then trim excess yarn
Step 6-Use sharpie marker to color on shoes.
Step 7-Apply crown. Usually stick in between hair and the redline tape will hold it in place pretty well.
Back of fairy (clipped onto a bucket)

You are amazing! LOVE IT! You could also do the cute little fairy girls as decorations in a little girl’s room. Just hang them from their back or neck with fishing line and have fairies flitting around! We did this with clothespin butterflies and they hung for years.
OMGoodness, Lauren! I love your fairies!! They are so cute! Thanks for sharing all your great tips and the tutorial!
Oh my goodness! I just had to comment on this! Part of me wishes I had seen this earlier as we just had my older daughter’s birthday party last Saturday…but I have another daughter whose birthday is in October!
Thank you SO much for sharing your creations! You are truly blessed and generous to share so freely.
I really, really enjoy your blog.

All of this is just so sweet Lauren! My two girls were into My Little Ponies when they were young. I remember one party where I asked my sister to please draw a unicorn without the horn, and then lots of horns so we could have Pine The Horn On The Unicorn!

You are so amazing!!! Your ideas are so great!
I’m a graphic designer and put together a fairy party for my oldest daughter a couple years ago. It was so great that I started selling it on the internet. It comes with personalized cards of the birthday fairy, a secret fairy ceremony, and a throne for the birthday girl to sit upon. It has every single thing you need for a party except for the food.
