This child’s fairy costume features unstructured sheer fabric wings decorated with fabric paints; the wings are especially easy for young children to manage. They involve very little sewing and make a good project to do together, with lots of room for creative embellishment. I’ve made wings for my daughter almost every year for a decade, each time using a different construction technique. I found this method particularly low-stress, though not as delicate looking as wire-frame wings.
