Butterfly Wings


I used two of my old ballet skirts to make Bear some butterfly wings.  It was really easy.They also double as fairy wings.

I laid out the skirt and gathered it in the middle using a hair elastic of coordinating color, then I added some arm bands with bias tape I had left over from another project.  I tied the waist ribbon into little thumb and wrist hooks and the wings were ready to go.

  1. These make very pretty butterfly wings - pity I never took ballet.

  2. I love the picture of Bear with her wings - it looks like she is going to fly any minute. She must have been so pleased with them.
