Sounds good!  Wings and a flowery fairy crown for  the other  :D

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

Not sure how to make the wings or attach them to Jack.

I always made wings with a couple of wire coat hangers wound together in the middle and made into a vaguely wing shape.  Covered in some pretty fabric and elastic to go round whatever thing you want to tie them to! 
Although my wings were always made to go on bodies with a bit more flesh on I would imagine that should still work on Jack. 
You can also make them with a bit of Rigilene to hold the shape by sewing it to make the 'veins' on the wings.

@Sara-S Plastic boning stuff, you can use cable/zip ties instead but you would need to sew a channel for that. Rigilene you can sew straight onto the fabric boning

As @Acorn suggested, I made an anatomical heart for Jack to wear on Valentine’s Day. I used my Cricut machine to cut it from leather.

Thanks.
Jack is prepared for the New Year with a fancy hat.

A little clarification about what we celebrate; I am an American-born Jew of European descent.  My husband is a Canadian-born Catholic of Scottish descent. But, being self-respecting New Yorkers, we will celebrate anything that’s fun.

Today, I made him a little felt beret for Lunar New Year.  The symbol is a stylized version of the Chinese “double happiness” character. I made it from gold heat-transfer vinyl.

I'm all for celebrating everything that's fun @Sara-S. That's one thing I miss about teaching - there was always a celebration of one culture or another, then the World Cup, Olympics, etc to base data gathering lessons on.

@Lachica I taught in a very diverse school for most of my career and found it to be so much fun.

BTW, I just made Jack a Valentine's Day beret- same as the last one, but with a big gold heart on it.

With all the renovation going on, Jack wants to dress for it, so I got him a little toddler-sized apron and embroidered it.  He can also wear it for Labor Day.
