Hi Ladies , I'm trying to find some info on making wings for fairy & angel dolls .
I was making them out of pipecleaners and felt then sewing lace around the borders of the wings .
Although this looks very nice it took me forver handsewing it . Are there any easy wing patterns or instructions out there ? How about books ?
Thanks . Much Love , Roxie

Roz,

Another thing you can try is wire-edged ribbon -- fold two ends to the center (for however big you want the wings) and scrunch the center together and wrap with thread or wire to hold the "scrunch" .... wire-edged ribbon comes in all different sizes, colors and materials so that should keep you busy for a while....

I've done this for kid-sized fairy wings; perhaps it would work for dolls? Bend wire into the wing shape, cover with old pantyhose (white or off white works well). Decorate with glitter, fabric paint, spray paint, beads, sequins, whatever.
