Homemade Fairy Wings

This is a fun project to make a little girls costume fairy wings. The best part is that you probably already have all the items needed on hand. It only takes 15-20 minutes and will make your little fairy very happy.

see!
    1.Supplies needed: 2 wire coat hangers,tape, tights, items to decorate (glitter, markers, ribbon, etc.)
    2. Remove the curved parts of both hangers. This may require snips for heavy duty hangers. The cheaper kinds will just snap with a bit of twisting and bending. 
    3.Tape ends of both hangers together tightly.
      4. Bend and shape the hangers to resemble wing shapes.

      5. Cut tights at the tops of each leg. Cut a 4 inch strip from the top of each leg for the straps.

      6.Wrap each side of wing with one leg piece of tight. Pull tight to get out wrinkles, and tie a knot at the center.
      7.Work each of the strap pieces over the wings to the center.

      8. Now its time to decorate. Add beads, glitter, flowers, whatever you want! You could even color with markers and make "butterfly wings" instead.
      Have fun!
