Description

Some of you asked for it, so here it is - a list of the materials needed to follow my tutorial and make a full set of realistic costume wings.

Click here for a transcription/text version of this list~

Part 0 - MATERIALS :pointl: YOU ARE HERE
Part 0.5 - TOOLS
Part 1 - CONCEPT
Part 2 - FEATHERS
Part 3 - HARNESS
Part 4 - ASSEMBLY
Part 5 - COVERTS
Part 6 - ARM-COVER WIP
EXTRA -  RESULTS: See what OTHER people have made following this tutorial~ :la:

Still working on the last part - post questions, suggestions, and encouragement below~ :D

EDIT 05/19/2014: Made sure to add that 12 gauge wire is equivalent to hanger wire, as the latter is becoming harder to find in some areas.
EDIT 05/16/2017: Hot tip from TatianaDragonWhisper, if you find dog collars at your local dollar store you can harvest parachute buckles & D-rings from them for cheap!

Already finished your wings? Please fill out this questionnaire, I'd love to hear about it!
