Night Sprite

Become a night sprite by creating this special disguise. After dark, night sprites are just beginning to have fun. They love starry nights, fireflies, and the sound of crickets.

No one knows what they look like, of course. These mysterious creatures stay well hidden in the dark. But you can imagine -- and become a mysterious night sprite yourself.

How to Make the Night Sprite Craft

Step 2. Make wings by draping gauzy fabric, streamers, or wide ribbon over your arms.

Step 3: Use layers of craft foam to make a mask. The bottom layer should be black; the next layer should be yellow.
