Our felt fairy wings make a great addition to your kid’s dress up box. Or you can craft it as a kid’s costume for them to wear this Halloween. Either way, we are sure you and your little one will love it!
Since there are a lot of steps and pieces to assemble, this DIY craft is more of an intermediate project. However, there’s no sewing involved, which makes it easier overall.
Fairy adorable
After cutting the felt fairy wings, Meagan ironed on the rest of the details. This is where a cutting machine will come in handy if you have one! Our tutorial will walk you through all of the pieces to iron on and in what order, plus you can also use our printable template as a visual guide.
As always, you are welcome to make your felt fairy wings using whatever colors you — or your little one — likes! We’d love to see your version of this DIY craft, so be sure to share on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia or post photos to our crafters community page.

What are the dimensions of the wings and what age would be able to wear them? I have a 5 year old granddaughter who would love them but they look like they are for toddlers
They would be perfect for a five-year-old. They were actually a bit large for our baby model. I do not have them in front of me now, but I am guessing they are at least 18 inches wide. You can see in the photo of the backpack how they might fit on an adult.
These are just adorable. Am I understanding from the pattern that I would need four sheets of water lily and probably one of opal? I have never purchased your felt before. Thanks!
Hi Jobin! Meagan has updated the post to show the number of felt sheets. Share photos when you are done!
