Puppy Fairy Costume Wings

Step 5Gluing your Fabric to the Frame

Gluing your Fabric to the Frame

Using a glue gun, (You could use different glue but I don't think it would hold up as well as we're dealing with metal) glue on the fabric to the frame in sections as the glue cools down too quickly if you do the whole thing at once. Use your fingers to push down on the fabric on top of the glue to make it come through the fabric, that way you'll know it will hold really well.

If you feel like it doesn't have enough staying power (Like if your dog doesn't weigh 2 pounds like mine does) you could use a coordinating color thread and sew all around the frame and tack down the fabric.

I know if you look at the wings, they look sort of haggard as you can see the glue through the fabric and the hanger too. After painting and decorating the wings though, you won't be able to see any of the skeleton of the piece.
