Easier wings and come out great!

These are easier to make than the butterfly wings because there’s less appliqués. It still looks stunning and is a great gender neutral option. My son adores them and loves being a dragonfly. The pattern is well written and if you follow the steps it comes out amazing.

Fabulous fairy wings

Made the Medium fairy wings for a special 7 year old’s birthday (fairy themed) and she absolutely LOVED them! She put them on before the party and still had them on 4 hours later when we were leaving. Followed recommendations for materials used in the instructions and they held up beautifully—running around, bouncing in a bouncy house and all the other birthday fun you can imagine. Great and thorough pattern instructions and darn cute final product too! Thanks Twig and Tale!
