Make a tunic. Measure the child from the floor to the top of the shoulders. Double the number and cut fabric to this length. Hem the ends if desired.
Fold the fabric in half and cut a slit approximately 7 inches wide in the fold.
Create a set of joined wings. Cut a wing pattern out of newspaper. Test the pattern against the child's back for size and width. Make adjustments. Trace the pattern onto poster board and cut out.
Punch two holes in the wings, 2 inches apart at the location that will fit just below the shoulder blades. The holes should be the diameter of the cording plus a fraction, just large enough for the cording to pass through easily. Cut another hole in the center of the wings at waist level. The center hole should be large enough for two pieces of cording. Cut a hole on either side of the center hole. These side holes should be the diameter of the cording plus a fraction.
Decorate the wings with spray paint, sparkles or gems. Use boas or feathers to outline the wings, if desired.
Wrap a piece of garland around the crown of the child's head to measure for correct length. Add 2 inches. Cut and fasten ends together by overlapping ends 1 inch. Wrap with sewing thread and tie the ends of the thread together.
Place the tunic over the child's head. Run the cording through the tw o top holes in the wings, with equal lengths of cording hanging toward the inside of the wings. Drape the cording over the child's shoulders and cross in front, pulling the cord to the back and running the cords through the central hole and back through the holes on either side of the central hole. Pull the cording around to the front and tie at the child's waist.
