About a month ago, while rinsing a Robinson's orange squash bottle it occured to me that the rounded top would make a good animal nose. Cut with a sharp knife (a stanley knife on a chopping board is safest) and wrapped with white felt (glued all around the wider end of the nose on the inside and then stuffed into the top and finished with a tiny pink cushion made from some polyester wadding and pink material.
White pipe cleaners were stitched on to make whiskers and two long pieces of pipe cleaner sewn on in loops to make pieces to go around her ears to hold on the nose.
The ears were pads for a bra that I bought in a sewing shop and little pieces of pink fabric sewn inside each one and then sewn onto a hairband.
Some piping card plaited with a bow at the end beacme a tail, we added to a fairy costume and Angelina was ready to go!
