Fake a dead fairy

A mummified fairy

So, Jenna, a person who is most certainly awesome, wrote about a dead fairy hoax perpetrated on April Fool’s in 2007.

She then decided to make her own dead fairy.

She then posted a “Doom It Yourself” how-to with the materials required, recommendations of where to go to acquire them, and step-by-step instructions – with pictures! – on how to achieve this.

In Jenna’s finished version pictured here, the placard is describes this creature as a “Common Wood Fairy/Oreades silvestrus/Natural mummification”.

I insist each of you make your own dead fairies and display them online. ‘Tis the season.

I love the Internet.
