5. Carefully cut away the excess tulle, leaving approximately 1/8" beyond the stitching line.
|
6. Using darkest colour thread, sew back and forth from outer edge of wing towards center as shown. Repeat for all four wing edges.
|
|
7. Repeat stitching back and forth with progressively lighter colours of thread, layering and sewing closer towards the center of the wing.
|
8. Dilute some acrylic paint in a darker shade of the wing colour. Brush onto outer edges of wings.
Let dry. |
|
9. Using lightest colour thread, satin stitch up wing as shown. Satin stitch along bottom edges of wings.
|
10. Using progressively darker hues of your chosen colour, satin stitch around an outer wing bump, then all the way across to the corresponding bump on the other side, and up.
|
|
11. Top and bottom wings with all the satin stitching completed.
|
12. Cut lengths of sturdy wire to fit all the way across wings and extend about an inch on both ends. Carefully satin stitch over the wires from one end to the other side.
|
|
13. Cut wires to protrude 1/4" and glue beads onto wires. Embellish with beads and sequins.
|
14. Sew wings onto back of costume
|
|
15. Instead of beading, you could choose to embellish the wings with glitter paint.
|
16. Instead of sewing the wings directly onto the back of the costume, another option is to wrap the centers of the wings together with fabric matching the costume bodice, and hand-stitch into place. Then sew four snap fasteners onto the wing and onto the back of the bodice.

The wings also look great when taking 'fairy photos' of baby granddaughters!
