Simple Butterfly Wing Fairy Crown

Iridescent fabric stretched over hand-bent wire makes wings that shift color as you turn your head, their veins traced in matte black and dotted with pearly white highlights. Madeline Finn bends each wing over a printable pattern, rolls the fabric edges for a clean finish, then wires the whole thing onto a halo headband with vine wire and fake flowers. The kind of piece that comes together in an afternoon and looks like it took a week.
