Super sweet and oh-so-lovable, this might just be Alan Dart’s cutest creation yet. The ballet shoes and tutu-like skirt are a subtle nod to the toy’s inspiration, a seminal character from the ballet The Nutcracker.

We’re smitten with the lovely, fruity additions to the hat and wand, and the sweet wings to make her even more fairy-like. But be careful – once you’ve made your own, all of your friends are going to want one as well!
