This digital PDF will show you how to make the head and arms of a figure using our famous "Moustache Lollipop" Technique! From this, you have the starting point on which to build to create a wide range of fairies and other figures!
Please note that these are very basic instructions that will allow you to create the head and arms of your figure only. If you would like to make a hanging figure (without legs), you'll have the base made which you can then decorate to your liking by adding hair, decorations, etc.
These instructions do NOT show how to make figures with legs/freestanding base. You will find free tutorials on our website that will show you to do this here:
- How to Make Fairy Legs (and for other figures too!)
-
How to Attach Pipe Cleaner Legs to your needle felted figures
-
How to make a Standing Base Figure (from our "Mary" Makerss Make-Along)
The file download link will be automatically emailed to you a few moments after purchasing.
To make the basic head and arms as explained in these instructions, you will need:
-
Standard Core wool batts
- Your choice of skin-toned wool tops
- Extra Strong Pipe Cleaners
- Extra Strong Thread
- Medium Felting Needle
You will then be able to use your figure as a base to create an angel, fairy, sprite, character... the possibilities are endless.
You will also need further materials, such as natural or dyed wool batts, natural or dyed wool tops, hand-dyed curls, Angelina Fibre, etc to customise your figure! These instructions do not show you how to decorate your figures - that is up to your own creativity, but you will find lots of inspiration on our YouTube channel!
Suitable for beginners upwards!

Useful product
Good product, swiftly delivered.
As with all the other purchases I have made from the Makerss over the years, these are beautifully coloured, high quality wool batts which are a pleasure to work with.
Just what I needed, thank you 👍🏼💓
I haven’t used them yet but I foresee no problem as the other colours were fine 👍🏼
Brilliant product 💓
Just what I needed 🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you 💕
Very good product - I’m new to felting so was a bit unsure about them but they were perfect - thank you 💕
excellent fine wire for armature
This multi needle tool is great for faster felting and enabling me to finish my projects quickly and neatly. I would recommend it .
Oh my these are so sweet and cute. Great size for a makerss mouse
These look just like a folding crate in miniature and are really good quality.
These are just like real garden equipment in miniature. They are well made and strong and great value
These are really good quality items and I love them
Got this set of instructions FREE with my first Fairy Box Subscription. They are perfect to help you remember how to make your fairy. As an added bonus you can watch the video tutorials for FREE that Steffi has made to help you if you need extra assistance. These instructions are a must have if you want have lots of fun!
I was disappointed with the simplicity of these instructions. It would help to provide level of experience needed. I'd place this at absolute beginners level.
Instructions are fairly clear, although sections are not explained, such as how top apply the dresses and how to felt around the stand.
