Making Fairy Wings That Will Take Flight!

If you're throwing a Fairy Birthday Party for a toddler, then here are some great ideas for all your fairy party needs!

HOW TO MAKE FAIRY WINGS

SUPER SIMPLE - HOW TO MAKE FAIRY WINGS - This is a great no-sew option. Cut out wing shape from a piece of heavy cardboard. Cover with fabric and hot glue. Decorate wings with strands of pearls, flowers, feathers, sequins, glitter, etc.

HOW TO MAKE FAIRY WINGS WITH A LITTLE MORE OOM PAH!

Step 1 - Cut a 5-foot piece of heavy craft wire (like a 14-gauge) to create a child's wings and a 10-foot piece to create wings for an adult.

STEP 2 - Shape the wire into a circle and duct tape the ends together.

STEP 3 - Twist the wire into a figure 8 shape and duct tape the center to hold it together.

STEP 4 - Bend each side of the "wing" into the shape you want. For example rounded or pointy edges.

STEP 5 - Cut the legs off a pair of pantyhose and slip a leg over each side of the wing. The best pantyhose to use are the ones that are shiny or iridescent. Slide the ends towards the center and tie them into a knot. In the alternative, you could glue decorative sheet fabric over the wire wings.

STEP 6 - Decorate wings by airbrushing on paint spots. Add strands of pearls, sequins, feathers, ribbons, leaves, flowers, glitter, jewels, etc.

STEP 7 - Cut two strips of elastic that are long enough to loop around your arms. Either sew or use a glue gun to secure the loops onto the back of each wing.
