Why You’ll Love Crafting This Whimsical Fairy Keychain

Materials You Will Need

Tips for Delicate Fairy Wings
The wings make the fairy: work two pairs of small wing shapes in white or pastel yarn, then outline them with a round of single crochet in a contrasting shade for definition. A strand of sparkle thread held together with the yarn adds magic without changing the gauge. Pose the wings slightly upright so they are visible from the front.
