Feathered Wings Tutorial

Oh my god, this looks amazingly helpful, I’m starting an Albedo cosplay, and this looks good! One question though, to anyone who’s done this, are they heavy? Because I’ll need to have them almost at my hips.

I had made these for a TF2 costume. They turned out beautifully. But my house was struck by lightning , a bit smoke damaged, but they will still work.

Beautiful! Thank you so much! 

I'm planning on making this on a much bigger scale... bigger than a coathanger will allow. I also don't think coathanger material will be strong enough to hold up the weight. What material do you recommend?

So this is like super late but thanks so much for this tutorial!


I'm doing a steampunk cosplay for Katsucon 2017 (my first con ) and i wanted to make it unique with some lovely not-too-big not-too-small wings but most of the other tutorials were either massive, expensive, or just not what I was looking for but this one is perfect for the wings I'm planning on making with some adjustments

I hope you don't mind but I'll be posting progress pics and will credit and put a link back to this because it's awesome


though I do have a question (and I'm not sure if you can answer this still, idk if you still have em) but you said you hot glued the wings to the mesh, correct? Did it hold well? And also do you remember where you got the mesh screen or where it might be available? (I was going to check out Home Depot or micheals crafts)

I'm from the UK so do you know where I could get the feathers because I can't find anywhere 

This is really cool. And very helpful

do you have in mind any sort of modification for who's willing to make a  foldable version?

This is really neat. I have these signature characters I draw that I call Flyers. They're people with wings, but their wings are attached to their arms instead of their back. I want to do a Flyer cosplay outfit eventually, but I had no idea how to do wings. I've actually been looking for tutorials just like this. You've given me some great ideas to think on. Thanks!

How did you attach the wings to your jacket? I'm doing a costume where I need  have wings (essentially the same as yours), with a varsity jacket, but, to fool young children, I don't want whatever keeping them on to show, and I don't want to mess with the jacket (because I want to wear it on a daily basis). Any advice?

I want to thank you for the tutorial. You are such a kind person for sharing this! Keep being amazing!

Is there anything you could use other than wire mesh? For example, plastic or cardboard? Or something else?

(y)
But where did you get those feathers? I need familiar ones if I'm going to make Maleficent's wings!

Thank you a ton!!! I will most likely use this design for my Castiel Halloween costume this year!! My mom is finally letting me put together my own costume instead of buying it and I want to show her I can use bargain box and making it thanks a ton!!! 

This is so helpful! Thank you! This will be perfect to use for my Castiel cosplay! I love your Glinda cosplay btw! Amazing!

Hey so ive made my wings and am at the point of making the harness, which in retrospect I should have done first. But I cant get anything to stay attached to the center portion for the harness the wings just keep rotating and dropping down. How did you get the plastic to stay??

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it makes me want to try cosplaying Gilda

i was wondering what size feathers did you use for the bottom of the wings?

hi! great wings!!!
