Make your 18 inch doll some beautiful fairy wings with this PDF Digital Instant Download pattern. No Sewing required!
A world of magic and imagination is waiting for you and your 18 inch doll when you make your own Whimsical Wings!
Select from three different designs to create the perfect accessory for your doll. You can even draw your own design and use the techniques in this pattern document to create a unique set of wings that are all your own.
This pattern includes optional svg files you can use to cut the veins out with an electronic cutter if you have one. In order to use these files, you have to be able to import svg files into your cutter’s software.
If you don’t have an electronic cutter, not to worry! You can cut the veins out by hand with some scissors and a craft knife or box cutter.
Due to the small wire pieces used to make the wing attachment, these wings are not intended for children under the age of 4.
