Materials You Will Need
Before starting any project, you have to find all the necessary items you will use on the project. Otherwise, you are going to be stuck in the middle and will not be able to make it on time. So, for this project, you will need-
- Thick iron wire
- Think iron wire
- White mesh fabric
- Pillow feathers
- Spray glue
Steps to Follow
Step One:
To make the wings, you will need to measure and cut out a shape from a large piece of paper. The size of the wings will depend on how big you want them to be. You can use a piece of A3 paper or attach multiple pieces together to make a larger wing. Once you have your paper, draw the shape of the wings to see how you want them to look.
Step Two:
Take the thick iron wire and bend them accordingly to get the right shape of the wings. You need to cut the iron wires if they are too big.
Step Three:
Take the thin iron wire and start attaching the thick ones into the shape of the wings. Use other props if the thin wire is not enough to hold the pieces together. Make sure you tightly attach them so that they will not fall off.
Step Four:
Take the white mesh fabric and attach it over the wings to cover everything up.
Step Five:
Take the old school bag and cut the backside that has the strap. You will use the bottom of the bag with straps as a strap for the wings to hold onto your shoulder. Attach the wings to the straps with glue and set them to dry.
Step Six:
Take the feathers to attach them to the wings. You need to use the adhesive spray to attach the feather. Spray the adhesive on one portion of the wing and put the feathers there. Wait for the portion to dry down completely. After it is dried, you can start to cover the other parts one by one.
You have now completed making your angel wings! You can use them on any costume you have and wear them to parties. A side note is to make sure you paint the straps the same color as your outfit.
