- What are these wings made of?
These wings are handcrafted from recycled nylon or organza stretched over a flexible wire frame and then artfully painted by hand. Some designs are copied from nature and some are just fanciful. Some designs have glitter highlights for effect. When shaken, some of the glitter falls like pixie dust
- What is the approximate size of the wings?
The size will of course vary with the style and with some being handmade, even those of the same style may not come out with the same size. The approximate size of the wings is stated in the description of each pair.
- Can we use these wings with expensive or delicate clothes?
These are hand painted products intended for fun and play. You should use discretion when using them with expensive or delicate clothes. Movement and constant rubbing at the point of contact in the back can cause some of the paint to rub off. Also, some designs have glitter on them and like pixie dust, they fall off when shaken. This is a desired effect in some cases.
- Are they safe for kids?
As with anything when it comes to little kids (even pets!) They should not be left unsupervised. Kids can do the most unpredictable things. And pets don't exactly like having things put on their backs. Please note these items are not toys and some are sold as adult wings and therfore may not be suitable for small children.
- Do they require any special care?
The wings are made from spring wire and nylon or organza. They are very flexible and tough. That being said, nylon or organza is not flame proof, so keep the wings away from open flames like candles. When opening the package upon receipt, be extra careful using scissors, knives, or box cutters. A small puncture or tear on nylon can easily become a big "run". To open the wings, it is best to handle it at the node where the wings are joined. Do not use excessive force in trying to re-shape the wire frame as the nylon is stretched rather taut.
