They are made from melon seeds sprayed with gold paint and threaded onto thread. Mine are about 15years old so are looking a bit shabby now, but they still get put on the tree every year You can use runner bean seeds as well.

You can also make fairy wings for a teddy from silver foil - cut out extra large wing shapes and then pleat them like you were making a paper fan - open out the top bit (so the bottom is like the 'handle' of the fan) and then sellotape them to the back of the teddy and tie him to the top of the tree. we do that with every year and he makes a great grumpy-fairy!
