📚 Introduction

Today, I am thrilled to share with you my process of creating a magnificent set of wings for my Black Fey Day outfit. In this video, I will guide you through the steps I took to bring my very own fairy character to life. I wanted these wings to have a touch of realism while still being enchanting. Inspired by the work of other artists, I aimed to create wings that were both unique and eye-catching. So without further ado, let's dive into the magical world of wing creation!

🪄 Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the necessary materials for this project. Here's what you'll need:

• Scrap paper
• Sharpie marker or similar ink pen
• Thin acrylic sheets (approximately 0.03 inches thick)
• Alcohol ink markers
• PlaidFX High Voltage Glitter (bronze)
• Folk Art Brushed Metal, Plaid Effects Armor Metallic, and Red
• Folk Art Dragonfly Glaze
• Folk Art Glitterific Paint
• Folk Art Treasure Gold
• Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
• Iridescent cling film or cellophane
• Medium gauge aluminum wire
• Hot glue gun
• Sharpie (matching the color of the veins in your wings)
• Electrical tape

Now that we have all our materials ready, let's move on to the first step of this enchanting journey.

📝 Sketching the Wings

To ensure the perfect shape, size, and placement of your wings, we'll start by sketching them out on some scrap paper. I recommend using a reference photo as inspiration. In my case, I found a photo of cicada wings online that captivated me. Once your sketch is complete, go over the lines with a sharpie marker or an ink pen to make them more visible for the next phase.

🖊️ Tracing onto Acrylic Sheets

Now that we have the outline of our wings, it's time to transfer them onto thin acrylic sheets. Take one of the sheets and trace over the lines with a sharpie or alcohol ink marker. Make sure not to smudge the lines as you trace. It can be a bit challenging if you're left-handed like me, but take your time and do your best. Remember to add the lines on both sides of the acrylic sheet, as we want our wings to be visible from all angles.

🎨 Painting the Wings

With the traced lines on the acrylic sheets, it's time to bring some color to our wings. We'll start with a base layer of PlaidFX High Voltage Glitter in a bronze shade. This will complement the orange themes in my outfit. Apply the glitter paint thinly and in the direction that the wings would naturally flow. Avoid creating any globs of paint as they will stand out once dried.

💎 Adding Glitter

The enchantment continues as we add more glitter to our wings. For this step, we'll be using Folk Art Glitterific Paint. This paint contains large iridescent flakes that add a beautiful touch and sparkle to the wings. It's incredibly fun to work with, so be sure to get yourself a bottle. Trust me, you'll need it. Apply the glitterific paint generously, embracing the shimmer and magic it brings to your creation.

✨ Adding Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

To give our wings a fascinating 3D appearance, we'll be using Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. This incredible product acts as a cross between Mod Podge and puff paint, leaving a clear and resin-like finish. Grab your Dimensional Magic and trace over the segments inside the wings. This will enhance the 3D effect and add to the overall realistic vibe. Be warned, this product is addictive! I had so much fun using it, and the results were truly mesmerizing. Just make sure to have enough bottles, as you'll want to use more than you think.

🌈 Sealing with Dragonfly Glaze

Now it's time to protect our masterpiece and add a stunning iridescent touch. We'll be using Folk Art Dragonfly Glaze for this step. Simply apply a layer of glaze to seal and protect all the layers beneath. As the glaze starts to dry, we'll move on to the next step, which involves adding an iridescent cling film.

🎞️ Adding Iridescent Cling Film

To achieve an even greater sparkle and depth, we'll be using iridescent cling film or cellophane. Carefully lay the cling film over the wings, starting from the middle and pressing outward. Be gentle to avoid trapping any air bubbles. Take your time to work out any bubbles trapped beneath the film. As you do so, you'll begin to witness the mesmerizing shine and sparkle of your wings. It's truly a sight to behold!

🔗 Assembling the Wing Frame

To ensure that our wings can be worn and admired, we need to assemble a sturdy frame for them. We'll be using medium-gauge aluminum wire for this purpose. Bend the wire to achieve the desired shape for the wings, ensuring that it's both flexible and strong enough to support the weight. Remember to create two sets of wire for each pair of wings to provide double support and prevent any drooping.

🔥 Final Touches

With the wire frame securely attached to the wings using a hot glue gun, it's time to add the final touches. Use a matching Sharpie to cover up any visible glue, blending it seamlessly with the color of the veins in your wings. Lastly, wrap the ends of the wire frame with electrical tape to ensure a clean and inconspicuous finish. Now, sit back, relax, and marvel at the beauty of your creation.
