How to Really Enhance Your Costume With a Set of Unique Homemade Black Fairy Wings

If you have an old fairy costume or maybe an older black or dark blue dress you can buy a simple pair of fairy wings and turn them into scary looking black fairy wings.

Dark fairies or Banshee are very dark, bad, mischievous and sometimes evil fairies that can haunt a person for their entire lives. They are old, worn looking, skinny and without life. Instead of the soft enchanting voice that a good fairy has, they in turn have a terrible wail that is often associated to the death of a family member. They are creatures of the forest that no one from the old country dare speak of or venture out along at night for fear of running into one.

Now that you have a little background on these fairies, let discuss what you can do to make your fairy wings look mote dark and sinister.

Materials needed: Enough old-looking black lace to cover the wing construction, craft glue, twigs and dead leaves, scissors, material clips or pins, ribbon and a staple gun. If you are good with a needle and thread, then use it instead.

First you are going to want to take the wire from your wings and bend them a little bit. Where a beautiful, soft fairy may have perfectly shaped wings, a dark fairy's wings are a little tweak or bent in. A disorganized look is what you are after here.
Take your lace and start to pin it over the existing wing material. You don't want this to look perfect. It has to look a bit disorganized.  This will look even better if you sew the lace on the wings.
Now for the fun part. Take your small twigs and dead leaves and start to glue them to the wings. This will give the wings a more realistic look. Since dark fairies live in the deep forest, parts of the forest will definitely get caught on their wings.
Now take your scissors and make small little cuts into the lace. Make these small cuts in all different directions. This will give the wings a more sinister worn out look.
Finally grab the top of each wing and bend them forward a little. This will give the wings a sickly, droopy look. If you remember from the first paragraph of this article, dark fairies are old, skinny and sick looking creatures.
Last step is to tie your wings to your dress. This is a tricky part. We are going to make two loops. These loops are similar to what you would find on a backpack. You essentially are going to be making backpack type shoulder straps out of your wings. Standing in front of a mirror, see where your wings look the best. Mark that area and then attach one piece of ribbon to the top part of your wings and then to the lower part of the wing. Do this with your pins or clips. We will attach these permanently in a few minutes. Your first loop is completed. Now do this again with the second piece of ribbon. Attach the ribbon to the wings with pins, so you can adjust them if necessary. Once you have them just right, staple the ends of the ribbon to the wings and color over the silver staple with a permanent black pen. You want the staples to blend in with the wings. Now the ribbon ends are permanently attached and will not come off the wing. For a more professional look you can use a needle and thread for this entire step.

Congratulations, you now have a homemade set of black fairy wings. When someone asks you where you purchased your wings, you can boast that you made them yourself. Happy Halloween!
