It’s been a bit since my last craft project<\/a>\u00a0so it was time to see what I could\u00a0whip up for the Fairy Tale Gathering in Ann Arbor this past Sunday. \u00a0Many of the little girls who attend this festive event dress up so I took on the challenge to make some pretty purple fairy wings for Lolo.<\/p>\n

\"diy<\/a>I didn’t want the wings to be giant since she is only 14 months and relatively new at this walking thing. \u00a0After poking around our basement, I found 14″ zip ties which shaped up to be a quite delightful fairy wing base.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I positioned and hot glued the wings on a piece of felt and then covered the center with a faux flower bloom from the dollar store. \u00a0I then tied two 16″ long pieces of elastic that would slip easily over her arms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I cut up a spools worth of tulle into 7″ pieces and ‘bookmark’ tied them on the zip ties. \u00a0Once the tulle fluffs were on, I trimmed them\u00a0accordingly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"diy<\/a><\/p>\n

They were the perfect addition to this cute summer dress (on sale at Old Navy for only $9!) These wings are light weight and Lolo wore them like a champ -never once trying to take them off.<\/p>\n
