Wooden Ballerina Craft tips:

what are some ways i can change up the ballerina’s appearance?

The thing about these fun ballerinas is you can change the appearance simply by changing hair color by using a different color yarn. Change the color of your ballerina’s skin by painting the wood piece first and letting it dry before you begin. If you don’t like pink, make your ballerina blue by using a different color paint and mini cupcake liner for the outfit.

What is a good substitute for the wood?

If you can’t find these little wood pieces, there are many other options you can use instead. You can also use craft sticks, card stock, foam sheets, etc. Find something in your house you can use, no need to run off to the store.
