These worked great for my daughters about a year ago. They are simple and you can do them up as much or as little as you want.
If you need quickie wings for an event or party, you can make them from paper or cardboard and just decorate the surfaces. Large pieces of oaktag (manila folder paper) can work. You can find rolls of this material at better art stores. You can also use the sides from big cardboard boxes (to get larger, quickie pieces). You can tape the wings together to make the spine (try brightly colored duct tape), and then add some string, elastic or fabric straps to wear them. If you don’t want the spine to be completely flexible, a short piece of 1″ PVC pipe can be used. Measure from a few inches below your neck to a few inches above your waist to determine length. Cut as needed and sand the edges smooth or tape over them with brightly-colored duct tape. Tape the wings to the spine and then decorate everything to match.
What kind of fairy? Are we talking Artemis Fowl fairies or Legend of Zelda fairies or Tinkerbell kind of fairy or some darker fairy I can’t remember the name of? I’d say use matching clothes, makeup if necessary, try to use simple things for the costume.
dress up in a colorful skirt and shirt. Use poster board for the wings, paint it, add glitter to it, design it any way you want.
