How to Make Gorgeous DIY Fairy Wings with Cellophane and Wire
Materials You'll Need:
- Cellophane (any color or pattern)
- Floral wire (any gauge)
- Wire cutters
- Scissors
- Needle (optional)
- Thread (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Create the Wings:
Cut two large ovals or teardrop shapes from the cellophane. These will form the base of your wings.
2. Shape the Wings:
Using wire cutters, bend several pieces of floral wire to form the desired shape for your wings. Attach the wire to the edges of the cellophane ovals and secure with a needle and thread (optional).
3. Connect the Wings:
Bend two pieces of wire into C-shapes and attach them to the center back of each wing. Connect the C-shapes with another piece of wire to form the shoulder strap.
4. Embellish (Optional):
Add glitter, sequins, or other embellishments to the wings for a touch of sparkle.
