Elves-also known as faeries or fae-are magical and mystical creatures renowned for their beauty, playful spirit, and kind nature. Each fairy is unique, with its own personality, talent, and style, but there are a number of key traits that all fairies share-including her love of nature, her bond with animals and her desire to help people in need. This article will explain to you how to look, act and feel like a real fairy and maybe even meet the little creatures themselves.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Finding Your Fairy Identity
Step 1. Decide what type of fairy you want to be
There are many different types of fairies, each with a unique personality, talent, and style. Before you decide to become a fairy, first, you need to determine what type of fairy you want to be. Try to match your fairy's personality with your own, as this will make the transition easier. Look for different types of fairies and choose the one you like the most. Or even take a fairy personality quiz.
- Will you be earth fairy, who loves trees, flowers, plants and forest-dwelling creatures? Who loves clothes in earth tones and spends time in the garden?
- Will you be water fairy, who loves all things water and spends his time near rivers, lakes and streams, and always puts his feet in the water?
- Will you be fire fairy, who loves heat and embers, and is always passionate about what he does, be it big or small?
- Will you be air fairy, who loves open spaces and the wind blowing through her hair? Whose easy-going personality takes him wherever the wind blows?
- Will you be dream fairy, who has a close relationship with his mystical side, and can wish his friends and loved ones to have sweet dreams?
- Will you be music fairy, who continually finds melody and rhythm in the world around him-be it the birds singing in the trees or the sound of the wind making wind chimes ring?
- Will you be light fairy, who loves sunlight and can shine as bright as a million stars?
- Or will you be dark fairy, a mysterious person who prefers the night and dabbles in black magic?
Step 2. Choose a fairy name
For example: Flameburst, Riverberry, Fluttersage, or Spiritwind. Fairy names generally reflect the fairy's personality or talent. For example, an earth fairy might be called Hazel or Buttercup, a fire fairy might be Amber or Ashley, and a water fairy might be Marina or Brooke.
- Choose a fairy name that you think best reflects your personality, or use a random fairy name generator online for a little inspiration.
- Once you've decided on a fairy name, you can keep it a secret, or tell it only to those closest to you, because it's said that other people can use fairy names to control them and make them use magic against their will. Protect yourself by only telling your fairy name to people you trust.
Step 3. Create a unique fairy dust
What would a fairy be without its fairy dust? Fairy dust, like your name, should reflect your personality and talents and should be truly unique to you. You can buy glitter at a craft store to make a base out of your fairy dust, but you'll need to put some extra ingredients in it, to make it magical. You also need to make sure you always carry it with you, so people see that it's needed and very special to you.
- Make sure the glitter has a smooth texture and is not rough. Slightly large glitters are not suitable for fairies. Choose the color of choice that suits your fairy type. For example, green for earth fairies, blue for water fairies, black for dark fairies, purple for dream fairies, pink for music fairies, yellow for light fairies, white for air fairies, and red/orange for fire fairies.. Add a drop of essential oil to the glitter for a bit of fragrance-don't add too much, or the fairy dust will start to clump together.
- Next, you need to add some elements that suit your fairy type. For an earth fairy, try adding dried flowers or leaves. For a water fairy, add a few small seashells or sand. For a fire fairy, add a little chert (flint), charcoal, or wood. For a water fairy, add a little cotton swab, or a booklet, and for a music fairy, add a bell.
- Shake your fairy dust evenly to mix all the ingredients. Pour your fairy dust into a necklace pendant that is also a storage case, and can be worn around your neck. That way, you can pick it up whenever you need it. Alternatively, you can put it in a bottle (which you can decorate) and keep it in your room or someplace safe, to make fairy tracks, etc.
Step 4. Find your own fairy signature
But fairy signatures are not the same as human signatures. A fairy signature is a tangible object that best represents a personality or talent.
- For example, if your fairy talent is gardening, your signature could be dried pansies. If you're a water fairy, you can use pearls or small sea shells. If you're an air fairy, consider wearing a feather. You understand? Small objects to represent your talents and yourself.
- You can use the fairy signature whenever you are making something or completing an activity. For example, if you plant flowers in your garden, you can leave a fairy's signature on the side. Or if you're baking a cake, you can use a fairy signature to show that you baked it.
- For added effect, sprinkle your unique fairy dust over and around the signature.
Part 2 of 4: Getting a Fairy-like Look
Step 1. Wear light, cool clothes
Fairy clothes should be light and airy, and made of shiny material. In terms of color, the shades you choose for your fairy outfit, again, depend on the type of fairy you are. Earth fairies would usually wear green and brown, fire fairies would wear red and orange, water fairies would wear blue and green, and dark fairies would wear purple and black.
- Costume shops and Halloween stores usually have a collection of fairy costumes in a variety of colors and styles, but you may want to make your own, depending on your size and personal taste.
- If you decide to make your own fairy costume, find a fairy-style pattern at a craft store or supermarket and buy the fabric. You can use a wide variety of fabrics-velvet, tulle, dreamy fabric, sparkling colorful fabric, etc. You can also use second hand dresses and skirts at thrift stores, which can be changed and decorated to your liking.
- You'll have to wear flowing clothes on many occasions, to remind people of the beautiful, fluttering wings of a fairy.
- To make a fairy skirt, you can use a cloth band or elastic band (the size of your waist or hips, depending on where you are wearing it), then take a piece of tulle or mesh (the length depends on how tall you are), then sew with a cloth or elastic band the. Make sure you give enough layers so that the skirt doesn't look transparent.
- To wear the skirt, you can simply tie the ribbon, but if you're using an elastic band, you'll need a way to secure the back, either with Velcro, or with snap buttons. To decorate the skirt, you can make large flower petals, stars, or other shapes from felt or fabric, and then attach them to the tulle.
- For a elf-style top, you can make one, if you're good at sewing, or find a renaissance t-shirt (which can be colored, if necessary), or a cool, lightweight top.
Step 2. Have long and healthy hair
Fairies are known for their stunning, tousled hair, so taking care of your hair is a priority. Hair color doesn't matter-the essence of fairies is independence! The most important thing is that your hair should be in good condition, so make sure to keep it from drying out by using a good hair moisturizer, drinking lots of water, and maybe an occasional homemade hair mask.
- In terms of style, most fairies let their hair grow long, to the waist, if possible. Never tie your hair up and always let your hair flow freely down your back. However, if you prefer to mix style with a pixie cut, that's fine too!
- Think about curling your hair, or even forming small curls to frame your face. You can use curling irons or hair straighteners. Use rollers or do pin curls for this look. Alternatively, you can ruffle your hair for a more natural look.
- But fairies don't have to worry so much about how to keep their hair perfect-they have more important things to think about! Often you will find a fairy with a twig or flower stuck in her hair because of all her adventures in the great outdoors!
Step 3. Get glowing skin
Fairies need to have flawless glowing skin, so make sure you take good care of your skin. Wash your face twice a day (no more and no less) and apply a moisturizing and brightening facial moisturizer. Get rid of acne or spots with creams available in the market. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and try to drink between 6-8 glasses of water a day. You may also need to practice chanting your magic power. Meditating will also help, as will building a bond with your inner self.
- When it comes to makeup, use a light-emitting foundation or powder that will add a healthy glow to your skin. Use highlighter along your cheekbones and under your browbones to sharpen your facial features. And if you really want to add shine, a little blush for the cheeks can be used!
- Cosmetics that you can use to enhance your fairy facial features include a light pink blush and lip gloss, a little mascara (applied only on the top of the eyelashes) and a little eye shadow in a color that matches your fairy type and outfit.
Step 4. Choose some fairy accessories
As mentioned above, fairies don't really worry about their appearance, so you don't have to go overboard with accessories. However, a few simple touches in certain areas can really bring your look together and make you feel like a true fairy.
- Everyone knows fairies can fly, with their wings as soft as those of a butterfly. You can buy fairy wings at a costume or Halloween store, or make your own fairy wings with colored wire and stockings. Find out how to make it here. But don't worry about whether you should always wear your wings. Fairies often show their wings when they become "big", so traveling without wings is not a problem.
- If you want a fairy “crown”, it's easy! Take a headband and attach fake butterflies and/or flowers to it using glue. Hook it on your hair to create a beautiful hairdo. Alternatively, you can make a crown out of strands of daisies and just wear it, for a simple earthy feel.
- Not all fairies carry wands, but some use them to channel their magic, especially dream elves and dark elves. Magic wands can be purchased or made. You can make a wand with garden twigs or any thin piece of plastic. Attach a ribbon or other decoration that you think is appropriate. Use your imagination!
- Most of the fairies are very old, because time goes in a different way for magical creatures. As a result, any jewelry they have must be very ancient. Buy vintage jewelry at an antique or thrift store, especially charm bracelets or pendant necklaces. Anything with gemstones works too-especially if the color matches your fairy element. For example, dream fairies will like moon stones, water fairies will like pearls, fire fairies will like rubies, earth fairies will like jade, etc.
Step 5. Find a unique scent
Part of being a fairy is having your own unique scent. So depending on your fairy type, you can create the right perfume. You can buy a custom perfume if you want, but it's better to make your own.
- Think about buying a perfume making kit, which consists of a variety of oils that you can mix and match to make a perfume that is as unique as you are. You can also buy natural essential oils, which are available at most health food stores, and mix them with a little water in a spray bottle. Add a little bit of subtle glitter to the perfume for a subtle shimmer.
- Some of the popular scents that are often found in fairy perfumes include floral notes, such as jasmine, lavender, chamomile, rose, and geranium, as well as fruity notes such as lemon, grapefruit and orange, as well as sharp notes such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves, and earthy notes like vetiver, cedarwood and eucalyptus.
- Again, choose a scent that suits your fairy type. For earth fairies, choose a floral/grass/fruity scent. For water fairies, choose a rain/beach scent. For fire fairies, choose a sharp scent. For air fairies, choose a cotton/wind/mountain scent.
Part 3 of 4: Adopting Fairy Behavior
Step 1. Smile often
Fairies are happy and carefree creatures who always have a mischievous glint in their eyes. As a fairy, you should always put a smile on your face, be it a friendly smile, a mischievous grin, or a faint smile that looks far away.
You don't need to walk around with the light shining all the time, but always smile in every interaction you have with people because it will help you look charming to them, and give off a sense of understanding and mystery
Step 2. Do good deeds
Elves, although they like to play games and act mischievous, are also heart of gold and will help anyone in need. You can behave well in many aspects of your daily life, whether it's washing a sink full of dirty dishes or spending time with elderly people in a nursing home.
Remember that fairies often do good deeds without anyone knowing. They don't do it for credit. Knowing they have made someone's day a little better is already a gift
Step 3. Spend a lot of time outdoors
No matter what type of fairy you are---whether fire, water, dream, or even a dark fairy-all fairies have a strong bond with earth and nature. Therefore, they want to spend as much time in nature as possible, feeling the grass between their toes and the wind blowing their hair.
As a fairy, you must feel a strong bond with nature and enjoy spending endless hours playing in the great outdoors, appreciating the sights, sounds and smells of the earth. Try activities like picking a bunch of wildflowers, climbing a tree, or practicing your bird's song
Step 4. Sing, dance, and learn a musical instrument
All fairies (though especially music fairies) appreciate music, song, and dance. They could hear music everywhere, in the singing of birds, in the sound of a river flowing, in the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and in the sound of a burning fire. They love to sing ancient incantations and lullabies in their sweet high voices and love to prance on their smooth feet to the beat of an invisible drum.
Fairies also enjoy playing musical instruments such as the flute, Irish flute, harp, tambourine, bell and bodhrán
Step 5. Take care of the animals
Like their love of nature, fairies also feel a deep bond with the various fauna of the forest and meadows. Fairies can communicate with them, and build emotional bonds that humans cannot. Birds, deer, rabbits, frogs, squirrels and mice are all friends of fairies, so do your best to keep these creatures alive whenever you can.
- Leave crunchy carrots or lettuce outside for a passing rabbit or help a fallen bird heal its broken wing. Anything you can do to show that you care.
- But fairies are not very fond of cats, who like to chase and try to hit the fairies while they are flying in their tiny form. This is, of course, because cats are loyal to witches rather than fairies.
Step 6. Eat natural foods
Fairies live on the energy of nature, and enjoy all things natural. This is reflected in their food choices, because they prefer fruits and berries (berries), raw vegetables and nuts to human food in general. Due to their bond with animals, fairies tend to avoid meat, so adopting a vegetarian diet is common for fairies.
But even though they maintain a healthy, natural diet most of the time, fairies can't resist baking cookies and will devour homemade pastries, breads and sponge cakes, especially if they contain vanilla, nutmeg, or cinnamon. Hmmm…
Part 4 of 4: Developing a Fairy Friendly Environment
Step 1. Decorate your room to reflect your fairy personality
Create a fairy-friendly environment in your room with decorations that contain colors according to your fairy type. Hang dreamcatchers and wind chimes from the ceiling and place small fairy figurines on tables, bedside tables, and on windowsills. Hang a thin canopy around the bed, to protect you while you sleep. Store some of the fairy dust in a safe place, such as on a high shelf or a locked drawer.
Step 2. Plant flowers, plants and herbs in your garden
Certain herbs, plants and flowers are especially loved by fairies, so growing them in your backyard can make your garden a fairy paradise.
Fairies love edible plants such as rosemary, peppermint, and liquorice, as well as shrubs such as lavender and eucalyptus, as well as brightly colored flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds, such as honeysuckle, calendula, snapdragon, petunia, sunflower, and foxglove
Step 3. Invite other fairies to come visit
There's no question that fairies enjoy being with other fairies, so once you've adopted the fairy way of life, you can send out open invitations to other fairies to come visit!
- You can attract the attention of the fairies by planting the above-mentioned flowers in your garden, baking bread or homemade cookies and letting the wonderful scent waft through the air. You can also blow bubble toys into the air (fairies love bubbles!), or build little fairy houses around your garden so they can settle in there.
- But most of all, you just need to act like a real fairy in your everyday life – be kind to others, bond with nature and open your heart. If you can do this, the other fairies will feel that you have the same soul as them, so you don't have to try too hard to get their attention.
Tips
- Even if you can't fly, you can still feel mystical and magical. When you believe you're a fairy, and you're sitting out in the open in your own magical world, you'll know when you feel something strange. A feeling that runs down your spine. A hunch that something is watching you. And there was the faint sound of laughter dancing in the gusts of wind.
- Every fairy must spread love and peace. Have a firm mind. Don't let other people put you down. Be happy forever!
- You can be any type of fairy or you can be creative and create your own style. Don't feel limited by the possibilities.
- You have many choices as to what type of fairy to be. If the types listed don't suit you, then think outside the box and be "your own fairy type" and create a style you like.
- Don't worry about your lack of flying skills. Not all fairies can fly; There are various types of fairies that have different abilities.
