Finger fairies

This is Sarah’s own invention. I just adore it.
To make:
- Sarah used a type of Bellflower we have growing around here. It’s a rather invasive perennial that’s all over our yard and the greater neighborhood. (I’m willing to bet this would work with similarly-shaped flowers just as well.)
- Tear a small piece off the top of each flower to create a hole (it should be the width of your finger)
- Stack the flowers until desired “layering” effect has been reached
- Keep one of the flowers intact for a little fairy “hat”
- Draw a face on the finger (if desired).
As you can see the results are pretty sweet. Maybe we have a little Martha Stewart in the making?
