Title: Fairy Wings
Post by: saphire_glade on November 16, 2009, 09:59:21 PM
Okay. I have been working with fabric for a while to make my wings for my costume. But I want them to look dragonfly like, there are going to me 16 different panels and each should be about 3' long and about 8" high at the widest.

I was going to try use shrink wrap or cellophane. Any ideas on which would look better and be easier to work with if I have 16 panels to do?

Thanks

I have a tutorial on cellophane wings on my blog (www.fairetofestiv.blogspot.com) They're really pretty easy.  Let me know if you have any other questions!

I just wanted to let you know that I am having pretty good luck with the cellophane. Thanks for the link to your tutorial it has been helpful.

Now I just need time to move beyond prototype to actual wing set.
