if you do wings (let me know if anyone wants an 'ible on this) make sure both your colors match.

as seen in pics paint inside darker color, and outside edge lighter as well as backside.(sorry missing pic.)

cut a strip of stiff felt that fits your barrette, and glue it to barrette and ear base. (or a headband)
