DIY big Cellophane Fairy Wings for cosplay

These wings are perfect for any fairy costume you can thing of! Use these for masquerade balls, Renaissance fairs, or Halloween! They were SO MUCH FUN to create, and I made sure to film almost all of it, so you can make your own costume fairy wings, too!
These wings are made with galvanized wire I bought at Lowes, and then covered in rainbow cellophane paper, that I got at craft stores!
I also used foil tape, spray paint, and spray adhesive.
Once they were wrapped in the cellophane, I ironed them to tighten and shrink wrap the paper, and then melted the edges with a flame, to seal the edges and prevent fraying.

I’ve been making wings for close to ten years using this technique. Bravo!! One easy way to keep the cellophane flat is to roll your bottom sheet out, leaving the cellophane attached to the role… Spray that first layer down with the sprayed he sieve and then reverse roll the cellophane back over the top of that and it’ll push all of the bubbles out because you’re still using the cardboard tube. Also, as far as burning the edges… I use a miniature blowtorch which is great because it provides an even concentrated temperature, which works great for burning Various sizes of holes with maximum control in a swift manner. Love the way you used bubble bubble wrap around the base, I’m going to have to give that a try myself!

i just wanted to let you know that i used this tutorial to make wings for my first ever ren faire and they were a huge hit!! i ended using a metallic gold webbed fabric (think veining on wings) to give them a more realistic look and i think it made all the difference. thanks again for this tutorial!!

I am a retired cosmetologist, my dryer gets crazy hot, but the heat gun is a great idea it will grab all the way around each vein. Great job they are beautiful!

Aubrey, I can't tell you how perfect the timing is for this video. I am costuming the Little Mermaid for a local high school and have been stressing about how to make sea creatures. I knew that I would use wire, but had no real concept of how to put them together. This technique is perfect! I always love your tutorials and your art. Thank you for sharing your talent, self and your adorable daughter with us. Much joy to you during the upcoming holidays.

Hi Aubrey, thank you so much for sharing this awesome video. After looking for thousands of tutorials, I got a lot of boring wings until I hit yours. I followed each of the steps, and I was able to build my first-ever Fairy Wings for my wife's cosplay. I used clear contact paper on the bottom instead of the adhesive over the cellophane and then cellophane on top, though. Cheers. 🥰🥰

Also I am going to try the layering like you did, hopefully they come out even half as good as yours! Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! We are an OSDD system (basically DID with a couple of differences) and there's a fairy alter who is super uncomfortable without wings. But she wants something big and 'correct' compared to the cheap ones we can buy so this tutorial is going to be great for us so we can make her wings to wear so she feels a little less uncomfortable!

@macyunderwood4868 3 жыл бұрын

Hey, if you don't mind me asking (please don't feel pressured to answer) does the fairy alter have something like phantom limb syndrome?

@nanonova5909 3 жыл бұрын

@@macyunderwood4868 Yeah that's a good way of describing it. Like she can feel a weight there and feel like she can move the "wings". It's hard to describe other than it makes her feel off when she doesn't have something. Like if you randomly lost a limb you'd still feel it there.

@@nanonova5909 thank you so much for responding! I just wondered because I have a bit of a special interest in researching mental stuff that's connects to the physical, it fascinates me.

@TaylorMLPFIDAU 2 жыл бұрын

I completely get it. We haven’t been diagnosed yet but We have proof to have some form of DID through my girlfriend, and my sister. It was shocking to find out I wasn’t alone in this body, and it explained why I would pass out for days, but anyway, some of the male alters feel uncomfortable being in a female body. And I myself have felt ‘phantom limps’ before. Because inside I have animal ears. But not having them it’s strange.

Have a big convention here in 3 months and have been trying to figure out how to make a giant set of pipevine swallowtail wings for my dnd pixie cosplay. This greatly inspired how I make them, except I'm using solder for a less bulky bond and window tint for a more opaque color (I need to paint the insides and outsides of the wings two totally different patterns)
