Were redoing a lot of my kid’s fairy costume for ren faire this year. When we designed his first costume, he was 15. He does not have a 15 year old body anymore, so we are making a new jacket, got new pants and shirts, and I designed new wings. The iris petals are really the only thing we kept. Full costume soon, but I could not wait to share the wings, which I think came out amazing.

How did you make them? Is that a wood frame with irridescent cellophane?

It is three layers of heavy cardstock that I cut with my Cameo then dyed with alcohol ink, sandwiched between a layer of Thermoweb Iron on Vinyl, and a layer of iridescent cellophane backed with the same iron on vinyl and heated with the heat press. There is also a structure of aluminum and floral wire fitted between the layers of paper.
