Fairy Nature Craft For Kids
Did you know that pinecones often fall to the ground during Autumn? This is the perfect time of year to start collecting them to make pine cone crafts over the last few months of the year. By collecting your own pinecones and using real fall leaves this craft becomes very inexpensive.
How to make a pinecone fairy
We are going to use pinecones, large wood beads, moss, and fall leaves to make beautiful woodland fairies for our porch or garden. While this is a fun craft for kids, we will be using hot glue so make sure a parent is present to help.

Supplies needed to make a pinecone fairy
- Pinecone
- Wood beads (small for a small pinecone, large for a large pinecone)
- Fall leaves – we prefer pretend leaves, but you can use real leaves if you want
- Moss (available in bags at your craft store)
- Flowers (optional)
- Permanent marker
- Hot glue
Craft tip: If these pinecone fairies are going to be outside in the rain and sun, you might want to use a stronger outdoor glue that will hold up against the elements.
Instructions for making a pinecone fairy
Step 1
Attach the wood beads to the end of the pinecone using hot glue. If you are using large pinecones then use large wood beads, but use small wood beads for small pinecones. You could make an entire fairy family in different sizes.
Step 2
Using a permanent marker, draw a face on your fairy. You could add rosy cheeks, eyelashes, whatever you like. We kept ours fairly simple though.
Step 3
Glue fall leaves to the back of your pinecone to make wings for your fairy. We use fall leaves because they are such pretty colors. You can use real leaves if you like, but remember they won’t last as long as fake ones.
Step 4
Moss and small fake flowers or buds are perfect to make hair and pretty accessories for your fairy. Attach them using glue.
