I am trying to find some faery wings for my daughters,they are going to be the flower faeries in a wedding at the end of April.

I have searched thru so many sites and have found either beautiful quality but way too expensive ($200! *gasp!* ) or cheaply-made over priced wings.
(I am not paying $40 dollars for something that comes in a plastic bag at Halloween! grr)

I have attempted to make them myself only to end up crying in the closet,so self made is out of the question.

Does anyone know some websites that I may have missed?

I would love some help here.

I know there available here in many places but that doesn't help you does it.. Have you checked out ebay? umm..If you have a place called " The tree of life" Shop they usually have em.


I have been wanting to buy black ones but can't get ones with big enough wings.. There all small and not pointy at the tip of the wings which I want. Too lazy to make em myself.. Would go insane even thinking about it. But if you do decide to make them , use a few coathangers bent into what shape you need.. Stockings of your colour choice, some lace glitter/sequins elastic and uh.. I think thats it. Sounds simple but it aint haha..


Here check this out..

Is that one of the famous Yorkshire fiary photos by those two young girls? I've never seen one of the actual photos before.

yep - the ones that convinced arthur conan doyle and many others that there were real fairies -- of course they are just pictures snipped out of a children's book

but, at the time photography was relatively new and people couldn't imagine upper-class children would 'lie'

(oddly enough - i'm planning to make a quick detour on a trip i'm taking today to Hydesville, NY - where the Fox sisters reported hearing mysterious 'knockings' in the late 19th century - an event that almost single-handedly started the 'new spirtualist' movement eventually leading to the whole photographing fairies thing) - i'll keep my ears peeled for knocking
