Fold the parchment paper in half and freehand draw one side of the Pixie wings, then flip over and trace. This will create a symmetrical shape when you unfold the paper.

Tape the parchment paper to your table.

Cut the two pieces of contact paper that you’ll need.

Remove the nonsticky piece of paper on one piece of the contact paper and set it on top of the traced wings, sticky side up. Tape in place.

You should be able to see the outline of the wings through the contact paper.

We started by adding some small branches with leaves to outline the wings a bit. This step is important to help ensure that the wings will hold their shape once picked up and when being worn. Without this rigid element, the wings will flop down the entire time.

Add the flowers and leaves around these twigs and branches.

Leave about ½ to 1 inch around the edge empty to ensure the contact paper can make a secure seal.

When you’re happy with the layout, slowly add the second piece of contact paper, sticky sides together. Start on one side and work your way across so you can remove the air pockets as you go.

Center the oversized pipe cleaner in the narrow part of the wings where a butterfly's body would be and fold around the tall way. The pipe cleaner we used was the perfect length to fully cover both sides and have enough left to secure it in place with a twist on each end. The ends of the pipe cleaner we used had a folded over and coated end so they aren’t sharp, make sure the one you use isn’t sharp on sensitive skin.

On the backside of the wings, feed the long piece of trim through the top part of the pipe cleaner so it is even on both sides.

Then wrap the trim over your child's shoulders and loop back to the wings and feed through the bottom of the pipe cleaner again (think backpack straps). 

Finally, tie in a bow and enjoy a bit of magic.
