Learn how to make realistic fairy wings for dolls using insect wings & liquid polymer clay. These wings also make amazing earrings or necklace pendants (just add jewelry findings). If you don't have cicada wings or dragonfly wings, don't fret, I also show you how to make wings with a transparency print out (great option for the squeamish). If you love polymer clay crafts or nature crafts, or both, you'll want to watch this one!
These miniature fairy wings are in the 1:12th scale, which is the perfect size for a fairy in her fairy dollhouse. I've also used these wings to decorate my fairy houses and my fairy doors.
