I spent a buttload of money making my own fairy dress, but when I found out how much wings would cost I nearly lost it. I'm so glad I found this video.
I cannot believe how much information you've packed into less than 10 minutes!! This is one of the best craft videos I've seen on CZcams in a long time....kudos on a fantastic job. I'm definitely going to be checking out all your other videos as well.
i absolutely died at "this is Bianca, isn't she adorable?" lol..too cute. and great tutorial. brilliant idea!
I have been attempting to convince him to wear them to the free weight section of our gym and do some fairy-squats. So far, no go.
Omg! I know what I am going to make my husband do when I make mine!

thank you thank you thank you.
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever watched on youtube. Especially for fairy wings! Thank you for providing all these details, tips, tricks and resources!! Also, thank you SOOOO much for providing the necessary info, and sticking to the point ❤️❤️❤️ Ive subscribed and will watch the rest of your vids!
I greatly appreciate your taking the time to explain everything so concisely, thank you for an awesome tutorial!
This is an AMAZING tutorial! This is just what I needed. Not only were the instructions great, you have a wonderful speaking voice, and created a great presentation. CZcams needs more videos like this!
Best tutorial, by far. Thank you for the detail put into explaining everything, as well as the examples of what did/didn't work for you. I really felt like I was learning along with you!
You are extremely thorough in explaining the logistics and tips of this project, very helpful!!
WOW, you got it going on! Just what I've spent hours looking for. Beautiful job, strong demonstration, easy to follow and best video around on making these. Thanks so much for sharing. Your subscriber from Florida!
Thanks very much for this tutorial. Made a pair about 44" wide with an opalescent cellophane which turned out really really well, and I got boatloads of complements. My only note is that when you get that big, it pays to put a little extra reinforcement along the top rib of the wings to keep them from trying to fold over.
Do you mind linking a pic? i am dying to see how large wings look.
This is definitely late but did you take pictures of them. I would love to see them
This was so informative thank you. I'm trying to make wings for a craft fairy and have failed with other tutorials using wire. I pray this works better !
My friend and i are going to comicon together and we are cosplaying as steampunk faeries and we almost bought wings which we both would have hated. I am so happy we found this! nerd win!
This is great! THANK YOU!!! I love all of the information you provided! Will definitely try this!
Im making a sculpture from cellophane and this video helped me get an idea on how to approach the heating an color process. Thank you a bunch.
Thank you for such an awesome and very thoughtful tutorial! I love how you showed mistakes and all the little details and steps you put into making them. This was fantastic. Definitely going to have to make some for my daughter! :D
That was a very well made video. I want to give you kudos on how informative and perfectly paced it is. You really know your stuff! I am looking forward to using this technique on my next set of wings. Thank you for making this video. P.S. LOVED the ending
Good Job on the wings, I love them. I am sure my niece and nephew will love the wings too.
Thank you so much! Needed this for a cosplay and all the wire ones look a bit complicated for someone who is newer to cosplay making like me. This is awesome!
Fantastic. I can't wait to give this one a shot! Love your tutorials, and glad you're back!
AWESOME tutorial!!! I made some sick dragonfly wings with this!
Some notes: 1) NOT ALL SPRAY GLUES ARE CREATED EQUAL! I used E6000 interior/exterior spray adhesive. It came out more as a liquid than an aerosol- it was just too thick and wet to dry completely. It mostly just soaked the paper and remained completely wet where it lay between the cellophane layers. Definitely go for a more aerosol adhesive!
2) You can create some INCREDIBLE aging/ wear-n-tear on your wings using very high heat! I lit an incense stick and used the ember to burn little holes in the cellophane. I also ran the ember along the edges of the cellophane to create a more natural, rougher look. You can probably use a matchstick to do the same thing. Try it! It looks freakin awesome!! And thanks for this bad ass tutorial!!!!
awwwwwwwww *blush* danke.
also, good pointers on spray glue and heat treatment!
The very last part of the vid with the bird warmed my heart.
Also, very good tutorial. Thank you!
I absolutely love your tutorials, I made a pair of wings through the articulate dragon wing video too and they all come out so awesome!
Excellent tutorial! Great info, organization and I appreciate the quick pace. Sharing this with friends, Thank you!
This is the perfect tutorial! I have just made wire wings but am not happy. Will give these a shot! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
Wow! Thank you, you just saved me hours of headaches and money with your "do's and don'ts" I wish more people spending time to do tutorials would add common mistakes and tips n tricks!
Thank you for all the time you spent to figure this out, my daughters childhood will be better just this little bit because of you :D
A lot more information than I expected. You're fun to listen to as well!
itws been 11 years and this is still one of the best tutorials ive found
Love this tutorial! I used these instructions for a faerie festival costume and they looked and worked great. I based my design off of cicada wings and used thick card stock instead of gluing together construction paper (harder to cut, made stiffer wings, but looked good!) and I used silver chrome spray paint on the paper before I added the cellophane and they ended up very pretty. I got lots of compliments! Thank you for the video!
Ben: I refuse to do anything that makes me less masculine *kissing a bird*
Poetic
Another awesome video! I love that you throw the directions out clearly without a lot of Um... Ah..... pauses. Thanks!
Just wanted to say thank u so much for this tutorial and the templates! Mine were bubbly and I couldn’t get everything I needed to I used black card cellophane and laminating sheets glue tape wire and patience! They looked pretty good and my 4-yr old loves them! It was her fairy birthday party today! Thank u!!!
This is the coolest! I have a fairy-themed party to attend coming up, and had no wings. This is PERFECT! And I love how you stick to actual insect anatomy. Entomology nerds rock!
I cant wait to try this! I love your tutorial the wings are very pretty!! thank you!
these are so pretty. I can't wait do try this idea out
This was a joy to watch but Bianca really made it a perfect video :D
You are my lady a GODDESS!!! seriously I wanted these when I was a kid and saw them on etsy (same material) for $500! now I (the creative bitch I am) make them myself! You saved me a lot of money so I can make awesome things for my shoots! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
This was so helpful for my Tinkerbell wings. Thank you SO much!
Love your video !!!!! Very nicely executed and explained
GREAT tutorial. I have been looking for a decent cellophane wing tutorial FOREVER.. :) thanks!
Thanks so much for this well-produced video - delightful!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!! You saved me time and lots of energy. I was about to make wire wings and then found this last minute. SOOO much easier and worked great!
That's great to hear! For some people cutting the layered paperboard is a little tough, I'd be curious to know what tools you used for cutting the laminated paper board?
I love the wings and I LOVE that you are going from scientific basis instead of... uh... winging it. you rock.
this is extremely helpful to me because I am leaving for an anime convention on Friday and I found a tutorial that had good information and steps, but this video helped me more understand the mechanics of the wings and how the cellophane works. Now I can make my cosplay with ease!
bless this tutorial, thank you! my biggest problem with making wings was twisting around all that bulky wire and still ending up with a rough shape. 😵😵😵 this helps so much!
Soo many details nobody else mentions!! You saved me tons of mistakes. Superb research shared here and very well job creating the video visuals and all!!! Thank you 🌸
You are welcome! If you want to hardcore make several pairs of laminated paper and cellophane wings, investing in a mini band saw, such as the ryobi 2.5 amp
Inch, could make cutting a lot easier. Band saws tend to make smooth Cuts in cardboard, unlike a reciprocating saw that goes back and forth which is what you usually see as mini tabletop saws for arts and crafts. Band saws have a thin flexible blade which is more like drawing the cut through cardboard than it is like using a table saw.
These come out beautiful. Saw the initial wing someone did for a parade.
Awesome tutorial, great detail how to make. I can't wait to make my own now eeeee
This is an amazing video you did a really excellent job. I have shared it many times :)
This vid was really helpful thank and the bird at the end was sooo cute :)
Thank you for this tutorial is the best I’ve seen so far most of them use wires and I’m disable I can’t do much of anything 😂 but this tutorial made me one to try it so thank you again for such a detailed video
I LOVE THE TUTORIAL. THANKS. I WILL SEE MORE OF YOUR ART.
Thank you, thank you! This is a wonderful tutorial and is very helpful. I'm making a Child of Light cosplay and this is utterly perfect. I'll be able to make the wings much easier following this. :3
this is a genius idea! The end result looked amazing and the instructions were very accurate.
For ironing plastics like this (fake leather as well), I use an old kitchen towel. Lay it in between your project and your iron and it will never stick. Dampen the cloth slightly if you use this on fabrics.
Great wings, I Subscribe. I really love your DIY pattern wings
LOL. you guys are a riot!! Thanks for the information....been making mine a long time. Never thought to use poster board for the cells in the wing.
This is really cool! As soon as I am sure the local craft stores are back up and running I might opt to try this over the extremely complicated wire-frame tutorials littered through cosplay help blogs. Not quite sure who I'm cosplaying yet, but considering that I'm making a Witch of Time outfit already and it seems pretty cool I might be a God Tier Damara. Super awesome tutorial, definitely going to try this out!
Amazingly thorough! I'll be trying this out for Halloween for sure!
That was a beautiful ending.
Me and my friends are going to go around our small town dressed as fairies so thanks for this! Its gonna make things alot easier
You are welcome! If you have access to one of those inexpensive mini band saws you can make the layered paper veins super thick and sturdy.
@@gryphern thanks! Ill keep that in mind :))
Wow, great video ! SOOO helpful, easy and concise ! Thank you, thank you !
This is so helpful!! Thank you!!!!
exactly what I needed !! < 3 thanks for making this tutorial ;D !! Can't wait to gather materials and get started!!
This is so awesome. Thank you!
I love love LOVE your videos you help me out a lot... thank you. I'm going to make them this weekend... ohhh... cross your fingers...
I can't wait to try this! And I loved the ending! >.< So masculine.
You are an absolute LIFE SAVER. I just ordered some wings on Etsy, but when I went back to look at the reviews I noticed that her delivery of the product is inconsistent at best - people that got their wings in were ecstatic about them, but there were a fair number of people that never got their wings for reasons ranging from 'I'm in the hospital' to 'my husband just died in a car crash' or 'I was attacked by a stalker' - although they did all get refunds, so that's good. But yeah, I was having a bit of a panic over here as I've been working on a costume for a festival this summer, and the wings are an important part; this tutorial really helped put me at ease, knowing that if push comes to shove I can make a beautiful pair of my own, so thank you
You are welcome! The hardest part is cutting, so if you don't have big strong hands make sure that you buy a new pair of razor sharp scissors to cut the big sections out with!
I used the dragonfly reference and made them much bigger. I actually zoomed in on the actual photo, took multiple pieces of paper and traced it on my laptop's monitor. There like 2 1/2 ft and it worked and they are AWESOME. Thank you for this tutorial. I'd be lost without it. MY wings look amazing. I'll post a response and show them when I can.
This is an awesome video! Thanks!
Glad to be the first viewer of your video!!
The back mount in this video works great, you just bend the top two wires in the direction you want. By painting the wires with artist's acrylic paint from a tube (it's thick, not the little 99 cent bottles) or using hot glue or thick epoxy, the wires blend into the top smoothly.
Youre so entertaining i totally love you.
REALLY great tutorial. Thank you!
Your video was ultra helpful to me! I used it to make a total of 4 sets of wings. I've made a pair for my little sister in pink, 2 in iridescent blue for my friend and me, and I'll be making a golden yellow pair for my mom soon after I finish making a tut dress for my sister. She wanted to be a fairy princess this year. :)
I can't even begin to tell you how awesome this video is. Faved saved and all that stuff, I am soooo doing this project once I have disposable income again. :D
Your tutoriols ae realy cool i made the beast mask and wore it to school ended up making four more for our schools musical, all i can say is these tutoriols are awsome :D
Hi Gryphern it's been too long as realy love watching your videos they are detailed and well made, I hope we hear from you again soon.
the ending was just soo cute ^^
This was COOL!
Now I want to design a costume that would use these. Excellent tutorial.
You just saved my life!
great tutorial! But PLEASE never wrap ace bandages around your chest! they tighten over time and can seriously hurt you!
you make a good point. over time, elastic chest constructions can tighten. in my mind it was one layer thick and velcroed in front for an hour. however, an actual wrapping can shift and cause loss of ability to breathe over time. excellent safety point, I'm trying to see if I can add a comment box to the video.
Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Great ideas and work! Thank you for the tips. I wonder if making something akin to a stained glass window out of wire and cellophane would work, coloring the cells afterwards as you illustrated?
What fun are parties where you can't stab people? :)
like always. Nice explained and a nice result. Thank you and keep up the lovely work =].
Beautiful wings and a _very_ helpful tutorial. I would love to see pictures or videos of the wings you've made on someone and how they fair. Thanks for the Upload!
Good to hear! You're welcome! Many make up effects and props can be made inexpensively, but it doesn't necessarily benefit the artist to figure that out, since they want the profit of a high demand, low volume, sale item. My interest is figuring out the cheap part. I've made and sold and had in museums SO MUCH STUFF I sort of became nihilistic and no longer care about being the "special artist." I've become very interested in sharing the artistic process and the interaction with others.
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm tired of everyone having the same designs.
Good tutorial! Thanks! You captured my attention when I saw the Magic card! haha!
Thanks this was very helpful :)
My little sister wants to be fairies for Halloween together! I couldn't say no! But instead of buying things I would just make them! Thank you soooo much for this tutorial. It's amazing!
Great tutorial, thanks! ♥
Excellent thank you so much
Amazing tutorial!!!!!!!!
The bird is so cute
♡♥♡♥
Awww cute bird! GREAT TUTORIAL! WOW!!! Thank you girl!! You have inspired me!!!
Yeah! There are a lot of wire wing tutorials online. I've used welding gear to make very clean looking frames. Using copper welding wire and an acetylene set up you can make seamless wing frames by melting the end of wire to an adjacent wire piece by bringing the end just past the red hot stage, fusing, and removing the heat like working lampwork glass. Normally, people tape the wire together which can look bad. But soldering wire can be done with a hardware store hand torch or soldering iron.
