Full details
The Boland Mariposa Butterfly Wings are designed for costume enthusiasts and performers looking for a lightweight, eye-catching accessory for carnivals, festivals, or themed parties. They offer a striking aesthetic with a vibrant multicolored design that mimics natural butterfly movement when you extend your arms. While they are visually impressive and easy to wear, the sheer polyester material is delicate and should be handled carefully to avoid snagging on rough surfaces.

FAQs
Are these wings suitable for children?
The wings are designed as an adult-sized accessory (160 x 140 cm) but may fit older children; however, the size may be cumbersome for smaller users.
Can these wings be ironed?
We do not recommend ironing due to the delicate polyester material. Steaming on a low setting is the safest way to remove creases.
Do the wings come with a costume or dress?
No, this product includes only the butterfly wings. You will need to provide your own base outfit.
Is the material transparent?
The fabric is lightweight and has a slight sheer quality typical of polyester costume fabric, though the vibrant print provides good opacity.
How do I secure them around my neck?
The wings typically feature a simple loop or tie attachment designed for quick adjustment around the neck area.
Troubleshooting
Finger loops slipping during movement
Ensure the loop is positioned at the base of your finger or consider wearing thin rings to create a stopper.
Wrinkles in the fabric
Hang the wings in a bathroom during a steamy shower to naturally release wrinkles without using direct heat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear
- Large wingspan creates a dramatic effect
- Easy to put on and remove during events
- High-contrast, vibrant color palette
Cons
- Polyester material can snag on sharp objects
- Not suitable for outdoor use in high-wind conditions
- Hand-wash only to preserve the printed design
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: secure the neck strap comfortably, then slide your fingers through the provided loops at the outer edges of the fabric. The wings are a one-size-fits-most accessory, making them compatible with various adult and teen costumes. To maintain the vibrant colors and fabric integrity, avoid machine washing. If the wings get wrinkled, you may use a light steamer on a very low heat setting. Always store them folded loosely in a clean, dry area to prevent the polyester from developing permanent creases or catching on zippers in your closet.
