Step 3Acquire Your Materials
Next, you will need to acquire (buy, steal, or pillage) your materials. You will need the following:
-3 yards of 14 or 16 gauge galvanized wire (available at Ace and most hardware stores)
-48 goose quills* (these are the sturdy long feathers)
-1 oz of plumes* (the small, fluffy feathers)
-1 yard 1" wide ribbon to match or compliment the color of your feathers
-Combination wire cutters / needle-nose pliers (no gal should be without!)
-1/2 yard of felt (the color should match your feathers as closely as possible)
-glue gun & glue sticks
-Elmer's glue
-3 yards of elastic (1/4"-1" width) *optional: you do not need these if you want your wings to be strapless.
-Optional additions: extra ribbon, bells, mirrors, rhinestone gems, glitter & adhesive spray, marabou, sequins, tulle strips
*Number of feathers will vary upon your pattern. Go to step 2 to see how to determine how many feathers you will need.
