FAIRY TALES
At only 4 inches tall, winsome fairies flit about the tree carrying wreaths adorned with holiday accents. The fairies' slender bodies and legs, reminiscent of those of ballerinas, are made from embroidery floss-wrapped pipe cleaners. Pose the tiny figures to suit your mood or their use.
