Making Wings Tutorial

Materials

• Two Wire Hangers
• Pair of tights
• Duct tape
• Ribbon, flowers, etc to decorate between wings

First bend the wire hangers into the shape you want the wings to be. Then, Lay them flat and use the duct tape to tape the two together.
Cut the tights from the knee down and use this material to cover each wing. Tie the two pieces of tight material together in the back to secure them.
Where the tights are tied together in the back you can add the arm holes which are made of two segment loops from the left over tights material. Tie these segments to the tight material in the back. I also glued it to secure it better, then added some black ribbon to cover the knots.
You can use flowers, ribbon or whatever kind of embellishment to put in between the wings. I also used a puffy fabric paint pen in gold color to put designs on the wings.
This is the finished product. Lizzy tried them on and ran all over the place laughing. I'm planning ahead for Halloween this year. Lizzy will be a bee and I will be making her costume so I started with the wings so far. I asked Lizzy what she wanted to be for Halloween and she said "bee"!
