No Sew DIY Fairy Wings
I was chatting to a friend the other day about fancy dress costumes for festivals. She was saying how expensive they can be. Particularly as she’d got to buy four lots of fairy costumes for one festival they were going to, for her little girls. I mentioned that I’d once made a bumble bee costume and the easy DIY bee wings were so simple to make. With that in mind, I thought I’d use the same method to create some DIY fairy wings for fairy dress up costumes.
They’re no sew and are super simple to make. So easy, in fact, I created these for my friend’s little girl whilst we were at Camp Bestival!
How To Make Fairy Wings
I’ve seen various tutorials showing how to make DIY fairy wings online. Everything from simple cardboard ones to diy cellophane fairy wings and really complicated wire frames with net stretched over.
These easy DIY fairy wings are so, so simple to make. And if you save up packaging materials from any deliveries, don’t even have to buy the bubble wrap!
These are no sew, no stick, no fuss.
The fact that I made them while we were at the festival shows what a simple DIY this is. And best of all, they’re lightweight, and look fantastic.
How Do You Make Homemade Fly Wings?
You can make homemade fly wings in very much the same way.
But, instead of a double wing (as shown here with the fairy wings) just cut a pair of single wings, in a long oval shape.
Very much in the same way that I made the grasshopper costume.
Instead of green tape, you could use black, grey or even glitter or rhinestone tape – to create the detailing.
They’re super-simple to make and lightweight too! And are just as effective as the easy DIY fairy wings.
