Fairies are magical, mystical creatures known for their beauty and kind and mischievous nature. Each fairy is unique, each with their own personality traits, abilities and style, although there are some key characteristics that each fairy shares - including a love of nature, bonding with animals, and a desire to help those in need.. This article shows you how to look, act and feel like a real fairy and maybe get in touch with these cute little creatures yourself.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Part 1: Determine Your Identity as a Fairy
Step 1. Decide what kind of fairy you want to become
There are several, each with its own personality and identity. Before taking this step you will need to decide what kind of fairy you want to be. Try to match your personality with that of a fairy and the transition will be easier.
- You will be one fairy of the earth who loves the trees, the outdoors, the plants and creatures of the woods? Do you love earthy colors and do you spend your time in the garden?
- You will be one water fairy who loves everything related to water and spends his time next to rivers, lakes, streams and is always with his feet in the water?
- You will be one fire fairy who prefers heat and flames, is passionate about the causes he chooses regardless of whether they are large or small?
- Maybe you will be fairy of the air looking for free spaces and the wind in your hair? Are you a spirited personality who lets himself be carried away by the breeze?
- Maybe you'll be one fairy of dreams in touch with the mystical side, able to bring good dreams to all the people he loves?
- How about one music fairy that always finds melody and rhythm in the world around it - be it the birds singing in the trees or the breeze that moves a "chaser"?
- Or you will be one fairy of the night mysterious and dark-loving?
Step 2. Choose your fairy name
They usually have one that reflects their personality or abilities. For example, those of the earth can be called Silvana or Flora, those of fire Ambra or Fiammetta, those of marine water or Ariel.
- Choose a name that perfectly reflects your personality or use a fairy name generator you find on the internet for inspiration.
- Once you decide, you can keep it to yourself or share it with your loved ones as the name of a fairy is said to be used to control her and force her to do her magic against her will. Protect yourself by avoiding disclosing it to people you don't trust.
Step 3. Make your own fairy dust
What fairy would you be without your magic dust? Like your name, the powder reflects your unique personality and abilities, so it must complement you. You can buy glitter at a home improvement store, but you'll need to add some ingredients to make it magical.
- Make sure the glitter is powdered and not coarse. Big shots are not suitable for fairies. Choose a color you love that fits your fairy identity. For example green if you belong to the earth, blue for water, purple for darkness, etc. Add drops of essential oil to give a light scent, but don't overdo it.
- You will then need to add some elements in line with your identity. If you are an earth fairy, try dried flowers and leaves. For water, try shells and sand. For a fire fairy, charcoal, wood or flint will do. For the fairy of the air cotton or pieces of feathers.
- Shake your powder to mix it well. Pour it into a nice container that you can carry around your neck. You will be able to access it whenever you need it. Alternatively, you can put it in a jar (which you will decorate) and keep it in your room or wherever you think is safer, and use it to leave a fairy trail.
Step 4. Find your personal signature
A fairy's signature is not like a human one. It is something physical that best represents your fairy essence.
- For example, if your talent is gardening, your signature can be a little pansy. For a water fairy, you can put small pearls or shells. If you are a fairy of the air, a feather. Get the idea? Something small and that represents your fairy qualities.
- You can use your signature every time you complete a task. For example, if you plant flowers in the garden, you can leave your signature next to the flower bed. If you make cookies, you can use your signature to show who made them.
- For added effect, sprinkle some of your powder on it.
Method 2 of 4: Part Two: Looking like a Fairy
Step 1. Wear light, airy clothing
They should be made of fabrics that shine. In terms of color, the shades you choose will depend on the type of fairy you choose to be. Those of the earth wear warm colors such as green and brown, those of fire the reds and oranges, those of water the blues and greens, those of the dark purple and blacks.
- In party and carnival costume shops you will find various suitable garments in different colors and styles, but depending on your size and personal preferences you can also make your own.
- If you decide to make your own fairy costume, find a pattern and buy yourself the fabric. You can use different of them: velvet, tulle, transparent, iridescent fabric, etc. You can also take used clothes and skirts from a shop and change them, decorating them as you like.
- To make a fairy skirt, you can take a ribbon or elastic (the size of your waist and hips and depending on how you will wear it) and pieces of tulle or more fabrics (the length depends on how tall you are) and sew them together. Make sure the skirt has enough layers to prevent it from showing through.
- To wear the skirt, you can simply tie the ribbon, but if you use the elastic you will need to close the back with velcro or a clip. To decorate it, you can make large petals, stars or other shapes with felt or other fabric, which you will attach to the tulle.
- For a fairy-style top, make one if you're good at sewing, or find a Renaissance-style one (which you can eventually dye), or something that is airy and not too heavy.
Step 2. Keep your hair long and healthy
Fairies are known for having long hair, so looking after yours is a priority. The color is not important, the fairies are different from each other. What matters is that they are super healthy, so keep them hydrated with a good conditioner, drink plenty of water, and pack every now and then.
- In terms of hairdo, most fairies have them long, sometimes even beyond the waist if possible. Never tie them up, always leave them free. However, if you prefer to mix things up a bit, a short pixie cut works too!
- You can curl them, or just make a few curls that frame your face. You can use a curling iron or flat iron, use curlers or tweezers to get them. Alternatively you can just make them wavy for a more natural look.
- Fairies don't care that their hair is always perfect, they have more important things to think about! Often you will find fairies with bits of branches or flowers in their hair, a legacy of some adventure in nature!
Step 3. Care for the skin
Fairies need to have flawless, glowing skin, so make sure you look after yours well. Wash it twice a day (no more, no less) and apply a moisturizing and brightening cream. Fix pimples or blemishes with a cream. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and try to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.
- In terms of makeup, use a foundation that reflects light, or a powder that gives your skin a shimmering touch. Use the bronzer under the cheekbones and browbone for greater definition of your features. And if you really want to shine, a sprinkle of glitter on the cheeks!
- Another make-up you could use to highlight your fairy features includes pink powder and lip gloss of the same color, some mascara (on the tips only) and eyeshadow in colors to suit your essence and to clothes.
Step 4. Find some fairy accessories
As mentioned, fairies don't care about their appearance, so don't go overboard with accessories either. However, a few simple touches here and there will help to complete your true fairy look.
- We all know that fairies fly, with wings as delicate as those of butterflies. You can buy a pair at costume shops, or make them with yarn and colorful socks. Find out how to do it by reading this article. Don't worry about having to wear your wings all the time, fairies often hide them when they "grow up", so not having them is not a problem.
- If you want a fairy "crown", that's simple! Take a headband and glue fabric butterflies or fake flowers to it. Or take some brooches or clothespins and glue the fake flowers on top of them. Put them in your hair and create a cute hairstyle. Alternatively, you can make a daisy wreath and wear that.
- Not all fairies have wands, but some use it to channel their power, especially those of dreams and those of darkness. Chopsticks can be bought or made. You can make it with a garden twig or a thin, straight piece of plastic. Attach some ribbons and other decorations that you like. Use your imagination!
- Most fairies are old, because time works differently than humans. As a result, the jewelry they wear will be ancient. Shop at vintage and thrift stores if you are looking for jewelry from yesteryear, especially charm bracelets or padlock necklaces. Anything with large stones will do, especially if combined with clothing. For example, dream fairies prefer selenite, water ones prefer pearls, fire ones prefer rubies, earth ones prefer jade, etc.
Step 5. Find a unique scent
Part of being fairy is your scent which must be exclusive. Depending on the fairy you are, you can create your own perfume. You can also buy it if you prefer, but it would be better if you made it customized.
- You can purchase a perfume maker kit, which contains several oils that you can mix to create a perfume that is as unique as you are. You can also buy natural essential oils, which you will find in health food stores, and mix them in a spray bottle. Add some glitter powder.
- Some common scents found in fairy fragrances are the floral ones of jasmine, lavender, chamomile, rose and geranium; fruity ones like lemon, grapefruit and mandarin; spicy ones like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves; and those of earth such as vetiver, cedar and eucalyptus.
- Then choose the essence that matches the type of fairy you are. Of land: flowers, plants, fruit. Of water: the scent of rain and beach. Of fire: spicy essences. Of air: wind, mountain and cotton.
Method 3 of 4: Part Three: Behaving Like a Fairy
Step 1. Smile often
Fairies are happy, spirited creatures, who always have a mischievous sparkle in their eyes. As a fairy you will always have to smile, be it an amused grin, a wink or a dreamy smile.
You don't have to do this all the time, but always smile when interacting with humans and you will make them love you more, while still keeping an air of mystery at the same time
Step 2. Do good deeds
Even though they love to play tricks and are mischievous, fairies have hearts of gold and help those in need. You can adopt this behavior in your daily life, whether it is doing laundry or spending time with the elderly in a nursing home.
Remember that fairies often do their good deeds anonymously and don't do it for praise. The reward is knowing that they have made someone's day better
Step 3. Spend a lot of time outside
No matter what fairy you are, they are all related to nature and the earth. The result is that they spend a lot of time outside, barefoot in the grass and being caressed by the wind.
As a fairy you should feel a deep connection with nature and enjoy time outside, appreciating sounds, smells and what nature shows you. Try doing activities like picking wildflowers, climbing trees, or calling birds
Step 4. Sing, dance and learn to play an instrument
All fairies (especially those of music) appreciate melody, song and dance. They hear it everywhere, in the song of birds, in the hum of a stream, in the crackle of flames. They love old songs and lullabies, and move their foot to the rhythm of an invisible drum.
Fairies also like to play instruments such as flute and metal whistle, harp, tambourines, bells and bodhrán. Learn to play any instrument
Step 5. Take care of the animals
Because they are so close to nature, fairies have a deep bond with wildlife as well. They can communicate with all kinds of animals and connect their emotions in a way that humans don't even dream of. Birds, deer, rabbits, frogs, squirrels and mice are all friends of the fairies, so do your best to find these creatures whenever you can.
- Leave a carrot or lettuce leaf for some passing bunny, help a little bird with a broken wing. Do whatever shows your love.
- Fairies do not like cats sadly, who hunt them and try to crush them when they are in their little form of flying creatures. Obviously, this is because cats are loyal to witches.
Step 6. Eat natural foods
Fairies live in nature and enjoy its fruits. This is reflected in their food choices, as they prefer berries and fruits, raw vegetables and nuts. Because of their love for animals, they tend to give up on meat, so adopting a vegetarian diet is common in fairies.
Even if they stick to a strict healthy and natural diet, they can't resist homemade cookies, bread and cakes, which they devour especially if they contain vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon essences… what a delight
Method 4 of 4: Part Four: Developing a Fairy-Friendly Environment
Step 1. Decorate your room according to your fairy personality
Create a fairy-like environment in your bedroom, using colors that match the fairy you are. Hang a dream catcher and chaser from the ceiling and put statuettes of other fairies on your desk, nightstand and windowsill. Place a canopy over the bed to protect you while you sleep. Keep some dust somewhere safe, on a shelf or in a locked drawer.
Step 2. Plant certain flowers and plants in the garden
There are herbs, plants and flowers that fairies especially love, so plant them in your garden to turn it into a fairy paradise.
In particular, fairies love edible plants like rosemary, mint and licorice and fragrant bushes like lavender and eucalyptus; colorful flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds such as honeysuckle, petunia, marigold, sunflower, lupine
Step 3. Encourage the other fairies to come and see you
Of course, fairies like company so once you have adopted this lifestyle, you can invite the others and spend your days with them!
- You can get their attention by planting the aforementioned plants in the garden, making cookies and bread and letting the smell blow through the air, making soap bubbles (fairies love them), or building miniature houses to put in the garden, where they will be able to remarry.
- Above all, you must behave like a real fairy during the day and throughout your life: be good to others, connect with nature and always have an open heart. If you succeed, the other fairies will sense the affinity of your spirit and you won't have to struggle to attract their attention.
