Zelda Fairy Ornaments
I wanted to make my own Zelda-inspired craft to add to this awesome list of creations! These small fairy bead art projects were super fast and easy to make. They turned out really cute, so I thought making them into Christmas tree ornaments would be an equally fun way to display them!
I love that these didn’t require a wide spectrum of colors to create! You can replicate this pattern with any colors of your choice, but I LOVE the look of the translucent beads for the wings. You could easily iron out a bunch of these cuties to add to a craft table or artist booth.
They made the perfect addition to my tabletop Christmas tree, and may even make it onto my actual tree in a couple of weeks! You could easily make these into adorable stocking stuffers for a Zelda fan. Keep scrolling down for 20 MORE Zelda fuse bead patterns!
