- I've been wanting to try Fancy Fairy Angela's wing tutorial for ages and I'm so glad I was able to add them to my fairy costume! I think they turned out pretty well for a first attempt and I'm so excited to make another pair with new improvements! I also made a flower crown and I think it's so cute with all of its fall themed flowers 😊 If you end up making your own of either please tag me, I'd love to see! Next up is the actual Renaissance Festival!!

Baby Bat doesn't know what she's refusing! The wings are gorgeous. And the crown is stunning, especially with the bead strings. So ethereal. Your flowers collection always makes me swoon. Waiting for the final reveal!
Thank you!! And omg I knowww she’d be the cutest fairy cat 🥰 haha if only she let me put costumes on her, if I so much as put a collar on her she falls over like “help you’ve wounded me”
I love that you have considered the experience of wearing the wings (things like how much space and attention you will need to devote to them while wearing them) that is something I tend to forget when I plan costumes and then I am like…well, I didn’t think this through
Aah yeah I've had some difficult times with wings at conventions, so definitely something I take into account now!
The Emilie Autumn wing tutorial was such a call back it like punched me in the face. What a throwback. Your accessories look great and I LOVE how the flower crown sits on your head. Beautiful work.
thank you! yess my entire goal in life in middle/high school was to become emilie autumn
Suddenly i REALLY want to make myself some fairy wings !!!!! So beautiful and ethereal!!
You should! Fancy fairy Angela’s tutorial is so good it’s really worth trying out 😊
Very pretty 😀
Oh the way they angle is soooo dainty and beautiful! You did an amazing job they are gorgeous!!! I must make a dozen now!!!!
aw thank you so much! I'd love to see if you make some, if you post them on instagram please tag me!
Love it!
first of all, your wings look really cool! looking forward to next week's video to see it all together in its intended setting!!
(also now that you mention it in your outro,,, would love to see a pirate costume because well. pirates)
Thank you! We’re between elves and pirates, micahs leaning more elves but I’m hoping I’ll have time to make both 😋
Yes. The Calif. Ren Fair. Lovin your Fairy.
I LOVE your pumpkin sweater!!!! I just bought my own. I've never spent that much money on one article of clothing, but I think it'll be worth it!
thank you!! yess it's so cute, definitely worth it! It's super warm too, I was surprised!
@@moth.faerie Where is it from?
It all looks so good!!!! Also Baby Bat with wings would be adorable, but I am sure she would hate every second of it.
As for next ren faire, if you do a pirate you get to have big poofy sleeves which is always a plus. Though, as my internal enabler always says when I try to decide between two separate things: "Why not both?"
lmaooo also what I usually say haha, that'll be on my tombstone when I die
Okay so I knew I needed to replace my heat gun for my fairy wings creation, but now you’ve convinced me that I might need a Cricut as well. The veins are a masterful touch. Beautiful work… I’m jealous of your craft.
aah thank you! I definitely take no credit for the idea of veins, that's all from the tutorial I mentioned! The cricut has been so useful for tons of things, I defnitely recommend them!
I vibe with the color combination so much on the flower and wings! Im a sucker for flower crown and Im in love with how you arranged it.
thank you so much!
I like that pot o’ seasonal flowers! I’d put it in the corner and rotate it per season! 😂❤
Your Emilie Autumn wings looked so much better than mine did all those years ago. I can't wait to give these new wings a shot. They're so lovely!
I love the wings and the crown, so beautiful! The iridescent shimmer of the wings makes them look absolutely magical. And I've always adored flower crowns yet never owned a single one, I really need to change this. I'm catching up on a video backlog which means I can go straight to the reveal as well 🧡🌹❤🍁
thank you! 10/10 recommend getting or making a flower crown they absolutely help in achieving fairy feelings haha
So gorgeous! I can't wait to see the whole ensemble together. We don't really have Ren fairs in Australia so will have to vicariously experience one through your vlog next week! As for elf vs pirate... too hard to choose. Maybe a pirate elf?
Renfairs seem like a very America thing for some reason! Idk why they're so much fun! haha pirate elf sounds like fun, I was thinking a ranger-style elf so maybe not actually too different stylistically?
That is a GREAT sweater
You can harden the wire frame by hammering it, like if your using a 18ga steel.
I loved seeing the process for the wings! Its very cool! I would love to see both a pirate and elf! which ever you feel like!
thank you!
I just found your channel & love it. I remember loving emilie autumn as a teen, what a flash back!
yesss I definitely had a phase where liking emilie autumn was basically my whole personality haha, she had a very distinct style!
YESSS!!!! I love E.A!
Love it 💫💚💫💕🌳💕🌼👍🏼new subbie xo from france
Hey girl! I just made the Angela wings and I had the same experience. I used them for a fairy photoshoot and unfortunately they were flimsy and barely survived the day. I used very thick wire too :(
I was hoping with so much time and energy put into them that I could use them multiple times but sadly that wasn't the case. Thank you for your honest, kind, and detailed review!
Working on a fairy costume for next renfaire. I have everything for them except for the floral tape
Fantastic! You keep inspiring me to go on with my projects 😍
Edit: I have a friend with a machine shop who has a water jet. Most shops will charge by the hour with a minimum (my friend's is $100). If your drawing is able to be uploaded whole into the program the water jet uses you would probably only pay the minimum plus material. Still expensive for a one off.
Aah that sounds totally worth it though if I could get two pairs of wings done! Idk how fast water jet cutters work lol but even for one pair if I can perfect the rest of the process I would totally shell out for that! Ty for the info!
It turned out so good. The wings look surprisingly realistic and the flower crown is very cute.
I'd love to see your rendition of an elf in the future cos I already made a pirate shirt xd ( Bernadette Banner has a great tutorial)
thank you so much! I was so surprised at how well the wings turned out haha, I feel like its really easy for wings to turn out like 3rd grade art project (like my old ones lol), but the tutorial I used was so good!
There are wings with manual mechanism
that uses 2 cords to pull and control movement of wings on back to flap.
so the wearer can flap the wings.
However, the mechanical bat ( but
similar) wings that I saw were 1 of a kind
custom made, but skilled mechanics could create a new 1. Hope.that you can find such a person.
Good luck!!!
I recently found your channel and already I think you're super underrated! Your work is creative, fun, and infused with your personality, it's obvious that you put a lot of thought into your makes :)
If I may make one suggestion? Kick up the brightness a little, your videos are kind of underexposed particularly during the talking sections. The darkest shadows of the background often read nearly black, and the shadowed side of your face can't be seen well so it's very hard to make things out even with my screen on full brightness :/
thank you so much! I think it may be a difference in monitors? My computer is super bright so I don't think I've ever noticed it, but I'll try to even it out more! thank you for the feedback!
Amazing! If you are still interested in doing wings with water jet cut frames, one of my car youtubers uses a company called send cut send. They do exactly that for small scale creators. Not sure if they need you to use CAD instead of Photoshop but it's worth looking into! :)
oh thank you!! i will look into them!
Instead of the vinyl if I’m just using the wings one time do you think clear contact paper would work?
Have you ever read cat Wings by Ursula Le Guin? It has the most fantastic illustrations of winged kitties
i have not but i will look it up!
Aw this brings back childhood memories! Loved those books as a kid.
probably too late to ask, the video is amazing? Love the green sweater with the mushrooms, where is it from? :D
They're both so beautiful. Fantastic work, as always, Madam. Go have fun...

thank you!!
@@moth.faerie Oh, hey. This past weekend I got to pass on the sewing virus to our 19 year old God-nephew. It went really well. By the end of the day he had a Zafu-style cushion to stuff with his scraps and a tailors ham to stuff with guinea pig wood shavings.
That shimmery plastic is fascinating stuff.
@@stevezytveld6585 aah that's so exciting! always nice to get someone new into sewing!!
@@moth.faerie Virus has been successfully transmitted. Huzzah.
I had a rough lesson plan sketched out in my head. And talking to someone, in real time, about something that's sitting on the table in front of us both... was a gift.
I'm in the process of leveling up so I can hope to keep up with The Kid.
what if you dont have a cricut?
I made mine all hand even the veins and I used the same iridescent cellophane but mine did not use out, they turned out crunchy and unstuck.
You work is wonderful and I love binging your uploads ... but I have to ask where you got your lovely totoro cardigan?
thank you! it's from hot topic haha
@@moth.faerie cries in south african 😭
I have a question about the thing you worked on to make the flower crown base, how would you do that without it? It seems kinda hard to do without that thing you used to measure. Also, what are the things that you were putting on the wire after you cut it?
you could also use a cheap wig head padded out to your head size, or use a paper pattern to check it on your own head and followthe paper patter with the wire. the caps are called wire joiners
@@moth.faerie Thank you so much!
Are you using silk flowers? Or dried flowers?
i don't think they're actually silk but they are fake flowers from joanns and michaels
The wings are so pretty oh my god. And the crown! Gorgeous! The whole construction process was really fun to watch. So, so , so excited to see the full costume! (I vote pirate for next year lol)
thank you!! I'm leaning more towards pirate but Micah really wants to do elves haha, thankfully we have about a year to decide!
@@moth.faerie pirate elves perhaps??
Do you sell your SVG file?
