• Wide yellow ribbon

• Fusible Web or Fabric Glue

• Wire

• Black net fabric

• Headband

• Black felt

• Yellow pom-poms

• pipe cleaners or black chenille sticks

Directions:

1. Sew, glue or fuse the yellow ribbon in horizontal stripes on the black dress.

2. Bend the wires to form wings. Cover with black net, gather together in the centre and secure with a few stitches.

3. Use tube paints to directly paint designs over the wings.
