Sleeping Beauty like You've Never Read Before

Enjoy a fun retelling of Princess Sleeping beauty with these free and cheap books. You'll find great re-imaginings of the romantic fairy tale with a little spice and challenge thrown in.

My good fairies needed Maleficent to fight for our Sleeping Beauty table to be complete, so I found THIS plastic canvas pattern from Annie's Attic.

The pattern itself wasn't hard to cut or sew. I even changed all the colors to look like the black and purple from Sleeping Beauty's dragon without too much trouble. But putting it together was some serious work. I'm not sure I got everything exactly as it was supposed to be. The pattern was not very clear in the directions and I think they seriously need to work on that.

But overall, it took me only a week to work on and it looked pretty cool on the Sleeping Beauty party table.

Sleeping Beauty 3 Good Fairies

In making the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty, I was pretty sure what I wanted to do and I think they were pretty easy and turned out super cute. There are a lot of pictures and directions here, but they really aren't complicated, I promise!

I started with 3 long clay pots from a trip to the Springs to Michaels.

I painted the pots blue, green, and pink.

For each fairy's hat, I used cordinating color foam. I cut a square that measured 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Then I used the bottom of a Dollar Tree candlestick to make a circle for the hat.

I used the bottom of the paint bottle to make a circle in the center of the circle so it would sit flat on the wooden circle that I purchase for the fairy's head.

To make the hat cone, I cut another piece of fun foam in a 3 1/4 inch half circle. I used a large canning jar lid as my template. I placed glue along the straight edge and folded it into a cone shape.

To finish the fairy's hat, I cut a sheer piece of one inch ribbon in a 10 inch length. I centered it across the bottom ring and then glued the cone on top.

I used a large wooden ball and glued the ribbon to the bottom of the head and then glued the head onto the top of the clay pot.

For the fairy's cape, I cut a square that was 5 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Then I tapered the cape so the top was 4 inches and the bottom was 5 inches.

For the fairy's wings, I cut a heart shape out of a 3 1/2 inch square.

I placed a little bit of glue along the bottom of the heart (yea, so the pink fairy got more of an apple shape in her wing than a heart...what do you do?)
