Intermediate · 1 hr

Add wire-reinforced wings that hold a pose to any felt or crochet dragon body.

What you'll need

  • 2 sheets iridescent felt
  • Thin floral wire (2 pieces, 15cm)
  • Fabric glue
  • Needle and matching thread
  • Small pliers for bending wire

Fits

Any finger-sized dragon body, felt or crochet.

Steps

  1. Cut two matching wing shapes from felt, slightly larger than the final size to allow for a seam.
  2. Lay floral wire along the centre spine of one wing piece and glue lightly to hold in place.
  3. Sandwich with the second wing piece and stitch around the edge, catching the wire inside.
  4. Bend the wire gently to give the wing a curved, lifted pose.
  5. Stitch the finished wing to the dragon's back, angled slightly outward.
  6. Repeat for the second wing, checking both sides match before final stitching.
