My daughter had a pair of fairy wings that were looking a little worse for wear, they had holes and ladders in them... I couldnt bear to throw her wings away... and I also had a leopard tee that had a hole in it which I also couldnt bear to throw away. So I combined the two and beautiful custom fairy wings were the result!!

First, rip off all the fabric off the old wings, keep the middle bit that holds them together and set it aside.
Now there should be 4 pieces of wire, take each piece and place them on the tee, for each piece of wire, cut 2 pieces of tee quite smaller than the wire (as it will stretch over it. Once you've cut all 8 pieces move on to the next step.
Sew each pair of pieces together, leaving a small gap to turn the right way out and to feed the wire into. Turn all pieces the right way out.
Insert all the wires and sew up the little gaps with a needle and thread.
Using scraps of the tee, make the middle piece (just sew 2x rectangles together and turn right way out, sew up little gap with needle and thread.
Hand sew wings in place onto each other, then attach the middle piece by handsewing.
Reattach the elastic used for the arm holes and decorate the wings using various embellishments.... Then you're done.
