Fairy Dust

Like I think all three and four year old girls, my daughters are in love with fairies. Sophia dreams about fairies and dragons and unicorns and mermaids almost every night. They go searching for fairies in our backyard.

So as part of their Easter baskets, I decided to make little bottles of fairy dust for them.

I got the idea from here. I love that catalog, but $68? Sheesh! I found little glass jars at Hobby Lobby - 50% off $1.99. Then I filled them with very fine white sand, two types of gold glitter, and tiny pink glass beads. I tied some teeny tiny jingly bells to the jar, so that it very faintly jingles when you pick it up, tied a ribbon around it - and done! I got everything at Hobby Lobby for around $10 for both (and had enough left over to make five more jars!) You could also decorate it with fake ivy and flowers like the Chasing Fireflies one. Or use different colors of glitter. There are so many possibilities!

This would also make a great party favor at a fairy-themed birthday party!
