What Your Child Makes
The Fairy Jar Kit turns a plain jar into a glowing fairy lantern. Kids brush on glue, layer the tissue paper and fairy silhouettes, and add a sprinkle of glitter. Then they tie on ribbon and twine, top the lid with the decorative flowers, and clip on the butterfly. Press the switch on the LED lid and the whole fairy scene lights up from inside.
A Night Light They Made Themselves
The on/off switch sits right on top of the lid, so it is easy for small hands to reach. The finished jar makes a soft night light for a bedroom, a cozy glow for a sleepover, or a lantern to carry by its handle. For seasonal twists on a finished jar, see our Fairy Jar Holiday DIY Ideas.

This was one of my all time favorite crafts to do with my daughter and granddaughter. We enjoyed doing this together and loved the final results!
The fairy jar kit was cute, but not worth the price. A plastic jar and a couple fairies with glitter did not add up to the price point. She loved the light inside and had fun making it but since I also purchased the dinosaur and music box kits for the same cost (which were fabulous) I had a comparison. My grandkids enjoyed making their treasures on a rainy day while we vacationed.
My 6 year old got this as a gift and it is so adorable! We loved making this together and she loves having it in her room as a night light. Very pleasantly surprised at how cute it is and will definitely be gifting this to her friends for birthdays.
One of our favorite projects! My 6 yr old loved this and it turned out awesome. The only thing I recommend is to paint the glue on in sections as you smooth the tissue paper on, or spread the glue quickly as it dries super fast making it difficult to smooth in the paper. Even so it turned out awesome!
My granddaughter, who is 8 years old, received this as a gift. She and I had a delightful time creating two Fairy Jars. She decided we could make two jars, then made a little picture as well. There was everything she needed to create both jars. The products were high quality and there was no frustration following directions. If you want a quality craft project for your little fairy loving child, I would highly recommend this delightful kit.
This was such a cute craft to do with my little! I love that the string lights are attached to the lid, and that it takes normal batteries (AA or AAA, can't remember which)! The only things that I found challenging, were getting the tissue paper on correctly, without ripping it and getting the flowers to stay on...I would recommend using a hot glue gun for the accessories. Well worth the money!
This was so much fun! My 5 year old loved making it! It would make a cute night light for her room. Easy to make and easy directions to follow.
My 6 year old granddaughter and I put this together right after she opened it. She was so excited about how it turned out and did everything herself. I just handed her the pieces as she was ready for them. I was so happy with her results and her reaction.
Me and my daughter (4yo) absolutely loved this craft. We made it together to give to my sister for her birthday. My sister also loved that it was handmade and just beautiful. It came with several different fairies to chose from, different pieces to add to create a little scene. Also with several ribbon choices and flowers even with a tube of glitter. There was a surplus of craft items left over could get another jar and make more if wanted. I had some trouble with the tissue paper (they give you two sheets so if mess up) it took me more than two times but any white tissue paper will work.
I purchased this as a gift for my 11 year old daughter and she loved it. The project was easy to do and fun. The jar turned out adorable and will make a great decoration in her room.
This is SO cute! It was a gift for my 7 year old niece. She crafted it, and then discovered the broken wire in the lid. So unfortunately the lid doesn't light up. Would love a replacement lid that works, as she already crafted it so we don't want to return her masterpiece 😊.
i had a great time doing and making this craft with my daughter. its so cute and easy to do and its comes with light too and glitters and flowers for design. it came out good after doing the instructions and its also included in the jar. great project for mom and daughter. u can use it for night light or decorations.
Perfect gift! I got it for my daughter’s 10th Birthday and it was a complete hit! I had to help some (mostly with getting tissue paper glued on without tearing), but she was able to do all the rest on her own and it turned out adorable! They have so many supplies too, lots to choose from! There’s even remaining supplies we plan to use on a different jar. By far my daughter’s favorite craft she has done!
We absolutely loved this craft! This was a fairly easy completely adorable craft! My 10 year old had a wonderful time making this! It was a little difficult for her to place the tissue paper inside the jar but other than that, she had no issues!! We loved that there so many different variations on designs! This would make a lovely gift for anyone!! Highly recommended!!!
This is so cute! I love that the jar is plastic and not glass and it’s literally everything you need except for batteries. It’s got a whole handful of black paper fairy cut outs in different styles and even a few smaller pieces of things like grass bunches and stars. There’s an assortment of flowers/butterflies/ribbons along with glue, paintbrush, white glitter, white tissue paperand some twine. Very easy to follow, illustrated directions are included. This was a great birthday present for my oldest girl, she loves fairies, art and crafts!
Little hands will definitely need help but my 6 and 8 year old loved it with just a little help. My 10 year old did great. They all use them as night lights. The best part is that it uses batteries so we don't have to trash it when it dims out. And to top it off they actually do look good!!!
It was a little difficult for my 6 year old granddaughter to get the fairies inside but with a little help from Dad they got them glue inside. They had a great time making it and it works great as a night light.
Our 5 and 9 year old daughters got these for Christmas. Although there is adult supervision needed, the results were loved by all. Would definitely recommend.
Got this for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas. We had a great time making it together on Christmas Day. The directions are easy to follow and they even give you extra supplies (thank goodness because I ripped the tissue paper and was so happy to have the extra sheet). I’m going to order another for her best friends upcoming birthday.
Questions parents ask
What's included in the Fairy Jar Kit?
A fairy jar with a handle, a light-up LED lid, fairy silhouettes, 3 decorative flowers, 6 colors of ribbon, a butterfly clip, tissue paper, twine, glue, a brush, and glitter.
How does the jar light up?
The lid has a built-in LED light with an on/off switch on top. Once the jar is decorated, kids close the hinged lid and press the switch, and the fairy scene glows from inside.
What ages is it best for?
It is recommended for ages 5 and up. Kids at the younger end may like a grown-up nearby to help smooth the tissue paper and place the smaller pieces.
Is it safe for kids?
Every Pinwheel Crafts kit is CPSIA compliant, which means it meets the US federal safety requirements for children's products, and the materials are non-toxic. The kit contains small parts, so it is not for children under 3. Keep the glitter and the small pieces away from younger siblings and pets.
Can my child design it their own way?
Yes. Kids choose which silhouettes to use, where they go, and which ribbons and flowers to add, so every finished jar is one of a kind.
What is the butterfly clip for?
It adds a finishing touch to the jar, and it doubles as a hair clip, so kids can wear it too.
Does it work for a party?
Yes. Each kit makes one fairy jar, so plan one kit per child for a birthday party or sleepover craft table. Everyone goes home with a lantern of their own.
Does it make a good gift?
Yes. It is a great pick for birthdays and holidays, especially for kids who love fairies. Once it is finished, the jar becomes a night light for their room.
