Hi,
I love this ornament! I was wondering how the skirt and pointe shoes were made. My daughter dances and I would love to make her a Sugar Plum fairy variation.
Beautiful work!!
Hi! The skirt is just fine tulle doubled twice and gathered. The shoes are 1/2″ Satin Ribbon folded and sewn to look like slippers with narrow ribbon sewn in place around the ankle to look like the straps.
Thank You for your compliment. Glad you like it, I hope to make more this year! If you make the Sugar Plum fairy, I would love to see the finished ballerina!
