This tutorial is not an invitation to copy any of my original copyright protected wing designs! Feel free to use the Piera Clearwing file I provide or other designs direct from nature, or create your own from scratch. At the bottom of the materials list are resources for insect wing images to help you out.

First I should get the the question of "where can we get / how can we make those flapping mechanical wings?!"
Well as of Dec. 24 2020 I can answer: we have a guide available! But you need to be experienced in electronics / robotics already or have someone knowledgeable to help you. It won't tell you how to do basic soldering for example, but you can find lots of tutorials for that. Adafruit is one resource you can check out.
The DIY guide is here: / flapping-fairy-45413944
Now that that's out of the way, welcome to the first ever Fancy Fairy Wings & Things Iridescent Wings tutorial. You'll learn how to construct fairy wings with iridescent film, poster board and wire, no glue required! I'll spill some wing making secret recipes to feed your crafting appetite. Please note that this is a tutorial for grownups due to the cutting and heat tools in use.

Amazing. Found you via Bernadette Banner
Me too 😊
And I! How wonderful!
same!
This is pretty funny to me because I love Bernadette Banner but I found this video on accident
Made my way here from Bernadette Banner mentioning your copyright issue with VS wings and certain awful celebrity that I personally despise. Sending all the support your way!!
same !
Same, i think.
Ditto.
Just to be clear, I have never had an infringement issue with Victoria's Secret, but maybe you meant that to describe the wings that were in the VS show?
I am hearing impaired. I hear a good amount but women and kids are really hard to understand with any background noise. I want to say THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for making this tutorial accessible! CZcams CC try’s to get the words all correct but a lot of times they don’t. So I really appreciate the time you have taken to type it all out for us! I LOVE YOUR WINGS!!! My 15 year old will just go nuts when she sees this video! I already subscribed and I know she will too!
You are very welcome!
Your wings flapping literally made me so happy like wow you look like a real fairy.
This is honestly such a selfless video. You’re literally showing us how to make professional grade fairy wings, which you have learnt to make over many years of experience for free. Could not be more grateful and thank you so much! You’re honestly a real life fairy 😂
to anyone with the patience and dedication to make something like this..
you have my respect.
I'm here in 2022, just wanted to say thank you so much for this very professional tutorial. You are incredible!
hi lesbians
I feel so called out and angry but that was the funniest comment ive ever seen
you are so right 😳
Hi
Hey girl 😅✋
hey 😭
I still have my wings and after 10 years they're still in great shape! I have two little girls now and I appreciate this tutorial 🥰 we're all fancy fairies 💙💙💙
That makes me so happy to hear :D
Ten years?? This video came out in 2019....
@@bigwijdsljla I've been making and selling wings for 16 years, she's referring to a set she bought from me long ago.
@@fancyfairyangela oh sorry, I didn't know you had a shop 😳😳
you're so generous for showing how to make these! i adore your wings and i hope to be able to buy a pair from you one day!
Never have had the desire to make fairy wings but oh my god do I want to now
Great tutorial, it was pretty special to see your ones moving. You could program them to flutter or move at more random times with a raspberry pi or arduino. Really special stuff.
thanks, youtube recommendations
Same
Thank you so much for this tutorial! We're currently stuck in quarantine and my little sister and I are going to enjoy making our own wings!
Wonderful! I'm so glad it's bringing you both some cheer
Thank you so much! I really appreciate artists sharing their techniques, i‘d never be able to buy a pair of those wings because of the place where i live, i’ll definitely will be trying to make a pair
0:59
She: or a lot of patience-
Me: f*ck-
LOL it's okay, sometimes sheer obsession and stubbornness can overcome lack of patience, worked for me 😄
Thank you so much! I made my own using bad tutorial pics on the internet years ago. This explains things in such beautiful depth ❤️ I see things I and change to improve the durability of the ones I’ve for Halloween and kids dress up.
The mechanics of the wings remind me of the way elf wings flap in rpg games. The motion is perfect
I love when artists share techniques , I feel that it helps generate even more as others expand upon it . Thank you
Angela is so nice to share this information! And for free! What a kind spirit!
You should make winx club wings!
I sort of already have - or, maybe it's more like Winx Club made wings like mine, do these look familiar? fancy-fairy-wings-things.myshopify.com/products/clarion-painted-iridescent-fairy-wings-in-fire-colors-for-winx-dreamix-cosplay?variant=33570393805
Mine came out before the Winx Dreamix version...
I'm making a set of fairy wings this year for holloween, and I'm so glad I watched till the end because I had no clue how I was going to wear them with the outfit I wanted to wear them in but I got some ideas now
Omg your wings are actually moving! First time I’ve ever seen that! 💜👍
Darkis Art
WOW Im speechless😢 Thank you soooo much for sharing!!! ❤ Ive been a fan of your wings since 2009 and last year Ive made my own wings inspired by one of your sold out ones. Ill made them now again according to ur tutorial ✊
I'm so glad this will help you out :D Please remember to change any of the designs slightly if they're my original designs, even if just for personal use it's better if there's a little variation so people can recognize they aren't the ones purchased directly from me and also so people don't jump to the conclusion that you might be wearing a knock-off purchased from another vendor - because there've been quite a few who have tried to sell copies unfortunately. It also makes them more unique to your own fairy character :)

My CZcams recommendations: Iridescent fairy wings tutorial
I really love this creator. you can tell they are a good person. I really appreciate the effort they do for the community but also for the black community and protecting voter rights in her own community as well. A true fairy godmother.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this ♥️
@@fancyfairyangela I have a quick question, I’m doing my own design and the veins fully wrap around the wing, so I was wondering for adding the wire if I need to do anything differently/modify the design, since I know yours just has a top wire then a tiny bit on the bottom as opposed to it being a continuous line all the way around
( I can show photos/concept art in an unlisted video if that would help )
Also thank you for making this, I’m glad that there is very beginner friendly tutorials while still getting a high quality result, I appreciate it 💛
Who else awed over her wings moving? I'm new to this channel so that caught me by surprise 💕💕
You are an absolute super star. This is the best tutorial I've seen for these type of wings. And those that you make and sell are stunning. Thank you so much! X
I’ve wanted a pair of your wings since my teens, though now days they seem always sold out when I look. I appreciate the tutorial! Hopefully this summer I can make some wings for my daughter.
Your workshop looks like heaven and despite having no need or reason I desperately need to be exactly there (your work is amazing and I am in awe of this new category of art)
Literally just made some wings today! There's definitely a bubble/loose area around the wire, but thats just the nature of a round wire. Got a good seal around the poster board I used and just trimmed around with scissors leaving like a .25"- 5" around the poster board just in case.
Also was able to just use a home iron but definitely iron with an ironing board and a towel/pressing cloth with the cellophane half facing down. Other wise it'll melt and distort your cellophane (which actually kind of made a cool effect if you wanted to test it on scraps and use it on purpose). Now just gotta finish sewing the rest of my costume for the ren faire. Thank you for the tutorial!
You look like a real fairy! So beautiful!
I am so grateful that you made your artistry accessible, this is absolutely wonderful and it is now my goal to make my own pair of wings! Thank you for this!

After following your art for all these years, it's so fascinating to see your process!
Wow I have been obsessing over your wings for years. I made a pair of my own by studying your descriptions and referencing to the care guide on your website. Thank you so much for this, now I can make a pair of wings that look even more beautiful
THANK YOU!!!! I've been looking for the perfect set of fairy wings for years and I haven't found a design I truly love. Now I can make my own! I'm so excited!! Thank you for making this possible for me!
I found this with the help of
Bernadette Banner!- Thank-you for posting this and keep fighting the good fight!!!
you mentioned Bernadette and I was like 'what? why would she have something about fairy wings she does historical fashion' because I hadn't watched that video yet so I went to go look at her videos to see. Long story short it is several hours and multiple of Bernadette's videos later and I am finally returning to my original task of figuring out how I'm going to make my fairy wings but now I really want to make a Cape.
@@renfort3925 :D my pleasure - sew on!!!
These gorgeous wings have made my day 🥺🥺 I am so HYPED rn thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us my heart is so so happy
Wings and things. Is it just me or did my brain suddenly flash back to Barbie, A Fairy Secret.
Holly molly, these are magnificent!Now I want to play outside like a fairy.
Ik this is an old video but i just wanna say thank you for teaching people how to make something even similar to what it is you sell. A lot of artists arent as kind as to do that so thank you
Oh, wow, hi! On the one hand, I only *just* found this channel via Bernadette Banner. On the other hand, I originally found Fancy Fairy in SecondLife at least 11 years ago, and was delighted to find it existed in real life via Flickr! More recently, I've been following you on Instagram, but somehow failed to realize you had a CZcams channel. I knew you had videos, but I thought they were only via Patreon (which I need to find you on, still, give me a minute! LOL)
Your frame making technique isn't as different from mine as I'd expected. I definitely want to try it now!
Me too
I have been admiring your wings for YEARS! Thank you for this
I am beyond grateful that you've shared your expertise!!! Thank you!!!!
It's so nice of you sharing your knowledge, and how you create you amazing art
And here I was, heating up iridescent vinyl films all day long, wondering why the heck they wouldn't hold together 😭😂
Well, now I know! Should've used sticky vinyl + angelina Film!
Angela, I cannot thank you enough for sharing this tutorial!
Even if that means losing potential customers, you are so kind to let us know about your secret process! I have a lot of respect for you, because you acknowledge that not everyone can afford your art (+ shipping +taxes etc...😅😅) and give us an alternative! You will help so many cosplayers and fairies with this, you're amazing! ❤️
You are so very welcome
@@fancyfairyangela this is so true! I've only ever found one seller that sold the standard pink-white-opal colour of angelina film in a wider roll suitable for making wings, but they didn't have any other colour and it was outrageously expensive 😅
You better believe I ordered myself a sheet of heat n bond vinyl today! 😂 I'll have to try it with a standard clothing iron though, because right now I don't have the funds for an easy press (they're also quite expensive outside of the US) but I am feeling motivated and I can't be stopped right now ^^
I checked the link above for "other colours" but there are no results 😅 just letting you know, in case you used the wrong link ^^
Thanks for replying! 🧡
@@melanie-rosannastevens7861 Oh I think it's because they're selling out of the iridescent rolls! Haha I sure hope they make more, I could never get a hold of them by messaging directly.
@@melanie-rosannastevens7861 artglitter.com now have 5 colors of Angelina film in the large rolls.
I made a few pairs with just cellophane. It will melt together using an iron with the wire sandwiched in the middle but it does tend to get a bit crinkly and it's not very strong. Im making my next pair with the vinyl she suggested.
Now that I've seen it done, it doesn't make my set any less magical and amazing.
Thank you for sharing your art with us and helping a few more people take to the skies (as it were)
Fascinating. 💜 I follow you on Instagram for quite some years now and today this was in my CZcams recommendations. It gives me somewhat of a warm feeling to see the world shrink like that with social media. 😁 I love your work so thank you very much for sharing these techniques with us, with the world. You're inspiring people. 💜💜💜
This is brilliant. I have wings I bought and I've been trying to figure out how they were made but I just couldn't place how they made the wings so thick, and now I understand! Thank you so much!
You’re so awesome for sharing how to do this and not hoarding the knowledge. Thank you so much
You are an incredible artist! I am in love with butterflies. I do not own a Cricut so I will be delicately be cutting out your wonderful design or something else that I find in your links. I will be proudly displaying your inspired creation on my wall when finished...thanks to you :) Thank you so much for sharing this with us all xx
Your wings are GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much for sharing your process and materials. Very generous :)
Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve seen so many fairy wing tutorials using plain bristol board and cellophane, and I always worried over how sturdy they would be. That clear adhesive vinyl you used will help a ton!
Came for the tutorial, stayed because Angela is mesmerizing.
Thank you Fancy Fairy! Happy fluttering. These are awesome. You're magical. ✨
I've been a fan of your wings for a long time. I've done some, but not like yours. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate your dedication.
Amazing that you have shared this with all of us. Thank you so much.
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! The instructions were so thorough and the material recommendations were incredibly helpful. I ended up hand cutting a dragon fly wing without wire, and the result was so beautiful its now hanging up in my window. The result is a piece of art :)
Thank you!!!!!!
I tried, tried, tried, tried for over a year and could not make my own wings I was happy with. I watched SO many tutorials too. I have this collection of projects that did not work. I finally decided I needed a cricut maker to try. I bought cricut maker in April. THEN could not find a decent pattern or vinyl. Ugh!!
I literally have every single piece of equipment you have in your video and almost all supplies. Now that I have a pattern, I can finally make some wings. You have really made my day, week, month, year??
Thank you!
ps: It wasn’t wasted time making all the “failed” projects because I learned a lot from those. 😁 I think we learn best from our failures anyway. So, they really aren’t failures.
I'm so glad that this helped out! And you are right, every failure provides us more information that we can apply to future successes 😊
Thank you for sharing. This was a great tutorial. Also the mechanical wings you're wearing are fabulous🧚♀️💕
Welp, time to become *magical*
Thank you for the tutorial! It's perfect, and the variety of wings you make are really an inspiration for me.
THANK YOU! Really Angela, Thank you sooooo much for your incredible Tutorials
This was cool enough but now I want to know how she makes her move. Hopefully she made a video on that to, and hopefully I can find it.
I've made myself a few pairs over the years, just winging it ;) so to speak. It was fun to see that my technique, learned through trial and error, was very similar.
Thanks for the tutorial and extra thanks for the item list. I never could find a good sticky vinyl.
Love you work! Keep crafting!
Thank you so so much for this tutorial! Your wings are beautiful, and thanks to you I managed to make a pair for a Disney fairies cosplay!
Great video, I really appreciate artists sharing their techniques
YOUR WINGS ARE FLAPPING THIS IS AMAZING
You are amazing! Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge
You're absolutely amazing! Can I just tell you! Like to the point I could cry! I love your wings they are absolutely stunning sadly I cannot afford them and after your beautiful selfless video. Seriously I cannot wait to make them tag you and share the beautiful art you have mastered!!! Thank you beautiful fairy for sharing your wings your knowledge 😍 shine on love ✨️
💯🙌🏻 I did cry from being so amazed 😜🫶🏻
Thank you SO much for this tutorial! It's such a great resource and beautiful wings.
Gosh I’m so proud to have joined the fairycore community recently (I call myself a pixie girl 🤣) can’t wait to get wings that move!
I've seen your wings for some time and I once was trying to make some wasp wings for a cosplay which ended up horrible! I never would have thought of using clear sticky vinyl. Such a game changer!! Never would have thought of that years ago and I do have a cricut now and access to that vinyl 🤔 makes me want to add a winged character to my cosplay plans
So cool! I paint faeries (love the old English spelling!) and have three painting videos of them now on CZcams! Kind of nervous to do a talking one like you have done but I will eventually try it. No time to make these but so very beautiful and I love how yours move! Thank you for sharing!
I like the old english spelling too😂
You´ve completly saved my life with this video this halloween, thank you so muuuuch
Thank you for sharing this! Beautiful. I'm going to try to make a pair for my 2 year old daughter. 💕🧚♀️
Ohh fae bless you for making this! I have desperately wanted to know how to do this style of wings for yrs now. I have been desperately searching videos and books for so darned long! I am completely freaking out and cant wait to get going on these!
I'm so glad this could be of help!
Thank you so much!! I have admired your work for so long. I make wings, myself, but I enjoy hand-shaping my wings with wire and floral tape. I never thought to use electrical tape, I'll try it and see if I like it. It would definitely lead to less-sticky hands, ha!
Also that heat-gun is the freakin best, I use the same one.
One of the things I'm always on a hunt for is a more durable material than the one I've been using for years. I use Art Glitter Fantasy Film and though I absolutely love it, it can get a little brittle with too much heat, so that thermoweb iron-on vinyl might just do the trick.
Thank you so much for sharing your artistry with us.
I've never comment but it's amazing and i'll share your video because everybody must see your art
That's a beautiful act of yours. I plan to do the same about my art. Love from Brazil
Thank you for sharing your artistry with the world. I wish you the best in all of your battles and for good things to come your way soon
Amen to that. 🧚♀️ 🦋
I'm in love! They look so real and so magical
I'm very crafty and I'm pretty sure I can do this if I put my mind and time into it you are amazing this is something very new awesome thank you for sharing
Angela...you are so incredibly talented and creative and we're thrilled to be one of your products for these beautiful wings you create! Thanks for making this!!! We love it!
You are so very welcome! And thank YOU for providing such a magical product. It has seriously been the best secret ingredient, allowing me to keep my film smooth as possible and even able to re-position when needed. I'm relieved I don't have to keep it a secret anymore and maybe you'll have some new customers ;)
This is amazing and your work is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this tutorial!
I actually like the ones which you had on, that flapped, can you do a demonstration of how we can make those,..? Or provide a link, to how much, those, cost,..??
The information for those is in the discription
Man i want those flapping wings
I LOVE your moving stained glass looking wings. 😍
