Tinkering is a way for you to craft things to help the Fairies get ready for the next season, or even craft your own items using the objects you can find around Pixie Hollow. To craft items, you simply need to visit Copper's Tinkering Nook in Maple Tree Hill.
Community Tinkering allows you to practice your skills in tinkering. All materials needed to craft these items are courtesy of the crafting shop, so there is no need to look for them.
Personal Tinkering allows you to craft something special for your home.
Tinkering Process
To begin tinkering an item, you need to select a blueprint to use. There are 38 Blueprints to unlock overall. To begin, you will only have 1 of these blueprints, but as you complete previous blueprints new ones will be unlocked.
Each blueprint on the Blueprints screen shows you the blueprint number (up to 38), an image of the item, the name of the item, and a progress bar telling you how far you have progressed with this blueprint. The small magnifying glass will show you more information about the blueprint upon clicking it.
Aside from the information that you get from the blueprint page, this will show you the ingredients you need, the amount of this item you have crafted, your highest quality score for the blueprint, your average quality score on the blueprint, and the steps involved to make it. To return to the list of blueprints, simply click the "X" in top right hand corner.
When you've decided which blueprint you want, all you need to do is click on it, then click the Make It! button. At that time you will be sent to the "Choose A Color" screen, where you can choose between several different colors for your item. When you select a color, the image of the item at the top changes to that color to show you what the finished item will look like. When you have found the color you like, click the Next button to begin tinkering.
There is only one step to tinkering. At the end of the mini-game, you will be scored with a quality rating judged by how well you play the mini-game.

After completing the blueprint you selected, you will be shown your results for that item. This screen will show your quality score and an updated progress bar. To see more info about your results, you can click the Details button at the bottom.
The Game Details page gives you more information about your overall quality score. This page shows you the quality score you received, the number of times you have created the item, your average quality score, and the best quality score you have had on the blueprint. When you are done viewing this info, you can click "Summary" to return to the Congratulations screen or "Done" to return to the Blueprints screen.
