Angel wings are a great addition to any costume or even as a standalone prop for a photoshoot. Making your own angel wings can be a fun and creative project that will give you a product that’s unique and tailored to your liking. In this article, we’ll go through the steps needed to make your very own angel wings.

Materials you’ll need:

– Wire coat hangers
– Pliers
– White fabric (about 2 yards)
– Elastic bands
– Hot glue gun and glue sticks
– Scissors
– Feather boas (color of your preference)
– Ribbon or elastic for straps
– White paint (optional)
– Glitter (optional)

Step 1: Create the wings’ base

To create the base for your wings, you’ll need to use the pliers to straighten out the two wire coat hangers. Then, bend one hanger into a long oval shape. This will be the base of one of your wings. You’ll then create the same shape using the other hanger for the second wing.

Next, you’ll need to connect the two ovals together. Place them with one on top of the other and wrap the ends of the hangers around each other. Use the pliers to flatten and bend the edges of the wire so that it looks neat and is secure.

Step 2: Cover the wings with fabric

Next, you’ll need to cut out the fabric to cover your wings. Cut two large pieces of fabric that are a few inches bigger than your wire base. Place the oval wire base on top of one of the pieces of fabric and fold the edges of the fabric over the wire.

Using the hot glue gun, glue the edges of the fabric to the wire, making sure that the fabric is pulled tight and secure. Repeat this process with the other wing.

Step 3: Add feathers to your wings

Once your wings are covered in fabric, it’s time to add feathers. Starting at the bottom of one wing, apply glue to a small section and start attaching the feathers. You can use a feather boa and cut the feathers off, or you can also buy loose feathers.

Keep adding feathers, layer by layer, until you reach the top of the wing. Then start on the next wing and repeat the process.

Step 4: Add straps to your wings

Now that your wings are complete, it’s time to attach the straps. Cut two pieces of ribbon or elastic bands and tie them to the base of your wings. Make sure that they are even and that they are tight enough to secure the wings in place.

Step 5: Finishing touches

Once your wings are complete, you can add any finishing touches that you like. If you want to add some extra sparkle, you could paint the wings white and add some glitter. Alternatively, you could use white or silver ribbon to wrap around the edges of the wire base.

Finally, your wings are complete and ready to wear. They can be used for photoshoots, costumes, and even as a home decoration. Creating your own angel wings can be a fun and rewarding project that can be customized to your own preferences.

In conclusion, making angel wings can seem like a daunting process, but as long as you follow these five steps, you’ll have a beautiful pair of custom-made wings that you’ll treasure for years to come. Happy crafting!
