DIY Fairy Wings HOW-TO and BONUS Costume Essential

Step 2 Shaping the Frame

now take an end in each hand, and slightly bend the hanger so that the ends cross at the bottom. about 2 and half inches of overlap

bend the ends in so the wire catches on its self.

do this to the rest of the hangers.

then take the other two segments and shape them for the bottom half. again the pliers are useful at this point. you can shape them anyway you want. this was a really easy way. and i liked how it looked:)

take what ever thick string you are using and tie a reinforcement knot at the joint of each segment. bring the string through the middle of the wing segment so the string is equal on both sides and tie a knot down the middle of where to over lapping wire "V's".

now take one top piece and one bottom piece and place them together. one of the overlapping wires on the bottom segment should touch the outer part of the top segment. and visa versa.

use your twine to tie them together. take your time with this and make sure they are together very securely. wrap the twine diag, up around where the overlapping wire meets the outer part of each wing. tie a knot and cut remaining string. as i went around with the twine i also wrapped up the left over hanging string from the reinforcement knots so you can't see it and looks better.
