  • What child doesn’t love fairies? My son is now a teen and I’ve still kept a couple of sets of fairy wings in a dress up box, you know, just in case!! There may come a time when they’re needed for child, teen or adult!

  • Very pretty ! I think Organza is easy to glue as well and might hold a bit longer.

  • They look absolutely beautiful and a great idea….unless one child runs into another or falls over. You’ve got galvanised wire that the rest of the decorations could come apart from.
