How I Make Fairy Wings
The Full Tutorial
I’m always stunned by the compliments and kindness I receive on my wings, and while I’m still learning/refining my own skills and designs, I’ve been asked to create a more in-depth tutorial for how I make my wings. Here is the full tutorial, along with my ups and downs of wing creation.

Materials
4-ply Bristol Board 500 series 20x30 inch (you will need 3 sheets at least for 1 set of wings) - Blick runs out of this ALL the time and is very unpredictable as to when it will be in stock. I have a local art supply store that keeps a steady supply for me. I highly recommend contacting a local art store that can source this product for you. Keep in mind you will need to cut these sheets down to size for your Cricut machine.

Tools
I personally love using Fantasy film over other types of materials for these wings because, depending on the light, you get a wide range of colors along with a glowing effect. Every color is a little different and will look entirely different once heated. I plan to start experimenting using different colors of the film together and fusing them into patterns in the near future, perhaps adding pigments and glitters to see what happens.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial, and it helped spark some creative inspiration for your next fairy look! Be sure to subscribe to stay updated on the latest projects and tutorials!
