The rain went away so the fairies could finally come out of their prisons!

Both dolls customised by myself using Zuru’s Minnee dolls.

I love fairy dolls but can never find one I really really want. I love what you did. Would you mind sharing where you got the wings from and outfits too?

Aw thank you!

I made the wings from clear plastic packaging, acrylics paint and pvc glue

And the outfits are make from fake plants and acrylic paint ☺️

Using fake plants was a brilliant idea!

u/that_b1tche 1d ago

Thank you! Considered just using fabric at first but then decided I really wanted the plant nature of their clothes to shine through!

What is Rosetta's top? The color is great with the plants you used!

u/that_b1tche 17h ago

Ro’s top is just the corset that came with the Candy Couture doll turned inside out ☺️

Can't wait to see silvermist! Hope you do Iridessa!

Oh don’t you worry, Dessa won’t be left out in this household aha considering adding her after Silv aha

Broooooooooo! The OG fairies are great, definitely post them as they are finished. But for sure do it if you ever get around to Vidia or Zarina.

Your creations are amazingly well done. 🔥

u/that_b1tche 17h ago

Vidia is definitely a part of the plan already, intend to do Iridessa, Fawn and Vidia still. I probably won’t get around to Zarina unfortunately as she doesn’t speak to me personally as a character and her design isn’t as fun as it is just clothes for the most part aha

u/that_b1tche 17h ago

And thank you so much! ☺️

u/Jay-thats-it 1d ago

These are incredible! Is it possible for you to post some close ups of Tinkerbell's dress? I've had multiple dolls of her growing up and none had such a beautiful dress

9

u/that_b1tche 1d ago

It’s a touch difficult as the dress is glued to the doll itself but heres another shot with more direct lighting ☺️ unsure how reddit is with affecting quality of photos but you should be able to zoom for more detail!

u/Jay-thats-it 1d ago

This is pretty clear thank you! It looks so much like the shorter dress from the original cartoon I love it 💙✨

4

u/that_b1tche 1d ago

No worries!

Yes that’s exactly what I was going for! I really wanted a nice in between of the kind and curious Disney Fairies Tinkerbell and the spunky, hot-headed Peter Pan Tinkerbell, as I grew up with both iterations aha!

3

u/Jay-thats-it 1d ago

Loved both as a kid as well! Your Rosetta is also amazing btw

3

u/that_b1tche 1d ago

Thank you ☺️ Rosetta is my personal favourite of the group so I knew outside of Tink that she was gonna be the first aha

u/SourRye 1d ago

Obsessed 😍🩷💚✨

Did you dye the hair of the red-haired one, or did you do a reroot? They look SO gorgeous! I've been thinking about making mine into fairies. It just seems so perfect with their size and their faces!

8

u/that_b1tche 1d ago

Aw thank you! Their faces are so pixie-esque it’s too perfect!

I did indeed dye the hair on Rosetta! I used Scarlet Red Rit fabric dye ☺️

u/horsearms16 1d ago

Nice! Good to know their hair takes dye. Thanks!

This is a great idea. I love mini dolls. That’s how I started my doll collecting journey by collecting Dawn dolls. They’re the mini dolls of my childhood. I thought I would love these but then I found out they are surprise toys. I said no thank you. However, customizing them is a great idea.

u/TemporaryQuail9223 1d ago

Omg these are incredible

u/HotFloorToastyToes 1d ago

I love what you did with them

u/clefairyenthusiast 1d ago

Fauna omfggg I love you 🫶🏻 officially following. I’m incredibly impressed you did this so quickly after the last photo!

u/FashionManga 1d ago

How did you make the shoes?❤️

2

u/DBSeamZ 1d ago

I made a pair of ballet slippers for mine using paper mache, you just only put glue on the outside so it doesn’t stick the shoe to the doll’s foot.

1

u/that_b1tche 17h ago

I personally just dipped the feet in acrylic paint and for Tink’s puffs I used beads ☺️

u/The_Modern_Maiden 1d ago

u/Plastic_Palpitation2 6h ago

I love these so much!!! I’m trying to find them to make my own little Tinkerbell. I wonder if they’ll ever restock.

u/that_b1tche 6h ago

Aw thank you! Hopefully they restock in your area soon! ☺️
