Hi everyone,

I've just finished a bear about 2.75 inches tall.  He really looks like he should be a fairy bear with wings!

Does anyone know where I can buy some little wings?  Or have ideas on how to make them myself....

Hi Catherine bear_grin I have used wire with white panthose or tights. You just shape the wire into wings and then put [ I use child size] the white tights over it and twist thinner wire over and over...... intil their snug over the wire. Does that make any sense? bear_tongue
