How to make a pair of Angel Wings

Step 4 Tools

You will need;

1) Safety goggles for when you are working with anything sharp. Protective gloves would be a good idea also.

2) Hairdressing scissors for a good finish on the feathers.

3) Decent pliers with wire cutters.

4) Retractable Stanley knife or substantial craft knife.

5) Screwdriver for bolts (depends on bolt head type). I used a screwdriver with a bradawl attachment for making the holes in the card and plywood. A hole punch for the card and a drill for the ply would do instead.

6) Hack saw for trimming bolts.

7) Wood saw.

8) Tape measure (not shown)

You are so wonderful to post this. For years I wanted to make a "real" set of wings, that were long and huge so they would have that wow factor. Thank you so very much for posting and I love that you put the tags on the pictures. You're awesome! :D And the snail is too cute (he's big though!)
