For the foam ones I ended up using material from a bait fish wrap. I did get the material at the dentist's office and it was some sort of dental floss. I going to try it for some mayfly spinner bodies. He's also given me out of date material they use for fillings these days. It's cured with a UV light. I've used it to round the bellies on my Crease flies and cover the seams on my popper bodies. I keep dropping hints that the next time he replaces the UV tool he uses for curing fillings, I would be glad to give the old one a new home. I hope I mentioned that it's Charlie Craven's Pattern. He doesn't use wings. He calls his a parachute damsel. That's the longest hackle I could find in my room. I guess that's what imitates the wings.
