How delightful would it be to discover a tiny clothes line of feathery, leafy faeries’ frocks? These little clothes lines have been found strung across trees, under window sills, in the bushes, among shoes in the bottom of a closet– even across dusty tomes on a book shelf. But if you don’t want to wait on luck to stumble upon one– you can whip on the up yourself.

Gather feathers, yarn, beads, silk flowers, bits of ribbon, etc. Fall colored silk leaves are especially attractive. Lay out lots of different combinations until you are sure your design qualifies as this Faerie Couture — then glue small drops to hold the frock in place.

Assemble each of the little frocks on top of a cookie cooling rack so air can circulate around and dry them.

Look for tiny clothes pins (about 1 ” long) sold with wooden beads and blocks in craft stores–Use them to hold up the dresses, on a clothes line tied end to end on a branch.

Then the real fun begins: Where can you set up this little surprise ?!?
