For the New Year, you can make the wildest dreams of kids come true and create a unique masquerade dress at home. If your child dreams of becoming a fairy, angel, butterfly at a holiday, making a beautiful costume will not be too difficult. The main question may be how to make wings with your own hands so that they keep their shape and look quite impressive.
Cloth wings
The easiest way out of the situation is to buy wings in the store and decorate the finished suit with them. However, a lovingly crafted piece of art can never be compared to a mass-produced product. You can make wings with your own hands in a very simple way. Buy a small piece of beautiful nylon, cut and sew into one wide ribbon. Carefully and quickly singe the edges of the part so that the cuts do not crumble, then form a bow and attach the wings on the back of the fancy dress.
Stocking and wire wings
A little imagination - and you can make wings at home from improvised means. You will need smart nylon stockings of the appropriate tone with lurex and flexible wire. Bend the frame in the shape of a drop, twist the wire ends, make the second part according to the pattern and connect the elements of the product.
If you are making angel wings, one pair is enough, while fairy wings or butterfly wings (as an option - dragonflies) will require two more smaller parts to be screwed at the bottom. Continue making wings with your own hands: pull the stockings over the frames, remove excess fabric with scissors. Tie the ends of the nylon tightly. Fix the center of the product with a wide enough, elegant tape of a suitable color.
Angel wings made of real feathers
Purchase a sufficient number of white feathers and feathers, which are sold in the departments of goods for creativity, online stores. Cut out a pair of angel wings from the plastic folder covers and pattern two pairs of white fabric pieces.
Along the edges of the plastic products, put an insulated wire on the Moment-Crystal glue, and then glue the blanks on both sides of the wings. Lubricating the steering feather rods with "Moment", tuck the tips into the canvas and lay them tightly in several rows from the "face" and the wrong side of the wings. Glue a layer of fluff on top.

Making feathers from thread
If you decide to make angel wings with your own hands, but you couldn't get real feathers, white Iris threads for embroidery will come to the rescue. Cut workpieces 12-15 cm long from rigid wire. Soak the thread in PVA glue and tightly wrap the feather frame with it, first in one direction, then in the other direction. Tie a strong knot and cut off the unnecessary "ponytail".
Cut thread blanks 10 cm in length and tie each thread to a wire, forming a feather. Having prepared the required number of feathers, completely moisten them in a mixture of two parts of PVA glue and one part of water. Carefully comb out the blanks with a comb, lay them out on a horizontal surface (covered with foil!) And dry. Trim the dried threads with scissors so that the homemade feathers look like real ones in appearance.
