Description
Download for fullview.Just a simple way to make angel wings. The material you make them with can very, especially if you want them to bend away from your body. If doing that, you will need a much thinner material and some wire.
There are many different ways to make angel wings. As I said, these are on the simple side. The best way to make them is with wire, but that can get expensive, complicated, and would require some knowledge of different tools, usually including sewing(which I do not know how to, so this was the best I could do).
I looked at some different ways to make angel wings on google, but nothing was very helpful. All I found out was that I ought to use elastic for the straps. The rest I had to figure out on my own.
You can always use a different wing shape. The possibilities are endless!
Before anybody comments on this, these are ANGEL wings! Please do not tell me that the feathers do not "lay right". I was not aiming for a bird's wing. If so, I would've done extensive research on how a bird's wing works, and looked at many pictures on it. But that's not what I was going for, so *please* don't comment on that.
If you make a pair from this tutorial, I would love to see them!
Enjoy! Full sized finished version coming soon

would you really have to use spray glue or like could you just use a hot glue gun or would the hot glue not stick onto the foam?
also this was rlly helpful i was looking everywhere for a good one that didn't use mesh/chicken wire or wire for the wings

It's not so much getting it to stick, it's getting the feathers to NOT stick themselves and get all goopey. Hot glue might work, but I think the spray glue is easier to use and there's a much smaller chance of it messing up the feathers.
Thank you, I'm glad it was useful!

Would this still work on the traditional wing shape where it kinda reaches your legs or hip

I would imagine! It's very lightweight, so it should hold up no matter the shape.

They're so much fun, and if you make them small enough, really easy to wear. I just gotta remember to turn my body when going through doors

I might make some HUGE ones (getting through doors is gonna be a bit tricky, eh?). I think that'd be fun.... though I'll probably die trying to get places

Here's a tutorial on some bigger wings [link] It is more complicated, but I remember it saying something about how to make the length doable.
I was considering doing big ones, because it would be fun, but I wanted to be able to easily walk around and do things
