Step 9Time To Glue!
Now is the fun and often painful part where you get to cover yourself and your wings in two types of glue! Before you attempt this next step, please make sure you are wearing clothes you won’t mind getting tons of feather dander, glue, and whatever else you're planning to use on the wings on you. Also make sure you know how to handle a glue gun, particularly that you are 100% sure you understand that the nozzle is hot! (I wasn't paying attention a few times when I made mine and have the red fingers to prove it!) You may want to wear gloves of some kind.
Lay out the first side of your wings on the newspaper and begin by hot gluing the goose feathers at the stem to the felt.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET THE GLUE ON YOUR FINGERS! You may want to use pliers or chopsticks or something if this happens more than once.
To add length to your design you can double-up the goose feathers by gluing one to the other along the stem as shown below.
The wings will not seem very secure at first, but as you add more feathers, the wings will become sturdier and look a lot better. If the stems of your feathers are too long to hold to the fabric, feel free to snip them.
