DIY Fiber Optic Fairy Wings - How To Make Light Up Fairy Wings
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2020
- Hi everyone and welcome to Faewood! This video has been a long time in the making! I am going to show you how to make PVC fairy wings with fiber optics from Ants on a Melon. These are definitely an advanced project and it takes a long time to create but the outcome is amazing. As mentioned in the video be very careful about the glue you use. From what I learned PVA glue is fine, some epoxy glues are ok and apparently E6000 (although I ran out of this glue). I hope you guys enjoy this project, every Fae needs a good set of wings xxx

That's what I like to call a happy mistake. I don't know what they were supposed to look like but they look amazing the way they are. I love the light showing around the edges and the inner sections.
I think the light leak worked in your favor, and blending it out with the sandpaper was genius!!! Thanks for the helpful tutorial. C:
Thank you 😘 so glad it was helpful ☺
RIGHT!? I just logged in to write that. Amazing work and thank you very much for the tutorial. I'll try to use this technique to replicate Rapunzel's glowing hair. :)
I've been looking into diy fiber optic costume tutorials and this was the most informative one I've seen so far!
Oh great 👍 I'm so glad it has been helpful 😊
This is amazing. So labor intensive. But I feel like in a dark room, anyone would follow you like moths to a flame!
Absolutely gorgeous!! I think the light leak was a happy accident, and the way you made it work to your advantage was genius! I think using the light to accentuate some of the lines throughout the wing is such a good idea, especially if it's night time and dark out, and you might otherwise not be able to see all of the details! Thanks so much for this tutorial, I hope now I can apply some fiber optics to my future costumes!
Dang love it, light bleeding seems to be a blessing in disguise lol looks amazing
I really like the wing-making technique you use, it’s a unique take and it yields awesome results!
ثممج يغقع
Wow, you know you need a dress to go with these wings, something flowy, maybe it could have fibre optics on it as well, underneath a sheer layer. Oh the possibilities.
I must say I am tempted to get another set of fiber optics 😊
@@LadyofFaewood I was googling Fiber optic fabric, when I found you on the side videos on youTube. :)) (Can buy the stuff on etsy...pricey, but cool, with controllers)
@@bubblerings oh cool, I'd so love to make a fibre optic gown 😍 I feel like I'll have to give it a try one day 😊
Bravo. Try a test to see if you warm the pvc Mylar your using a heat gun, it may allow you to shrink some wrinkles or form shapes like a feather shape. I built effects for Disney and universal for three years. Check out safety wire it’s stainless steel, there is techniques for aircraft that makes it fine and then you can paint epoxy glue to connect the lashing to them. There is a fishing line called dyneenma. That allows you to lash things together then coat with epoxy makes a nearly unbreakable bond. I had to make ultra light weight effects for the light parade, I created a new version of the jelly fish that rotate and dance all lit up (took a third of the weight out of the existing ones) there is fiberglass rod that can be use to create actuating rods and stiffer parts and hinges to make the wings move more or have more control. Nice video. Purple Scotch bright will make more light come out of the fiber optics too. There is a plastic called Kydex that can be formed into very comfortable parts like your back brace. Use a fan it cuts with a jig saw and smoothes with sand paper. Barge cement stinks but it’s a contact adhesive (you put it on both items let dry for twenty minutes then press together and it’s permanent.) works on shoes great for foam and fabric on rubber, and plastics. Will watch for more.
Wow such great information thank you so much! I'll look into those suggestions for sure 😊 you are so lucky to be able to create for Disney and universal! What a great experience 😊
Watch your channel explode with this one. LOVE IT!
Thank you 😘 I've been so excited to share this one 😊
These are DARLING 😮 before we begin... I HOPE I CAN FINALLY USE MY ART & GLOW POWDER 😊
They came out so beautiful, the bleeding looks amazing!!❤❤❤
Oh I don’t know how I missed this! Glorious. I’m going to forward this to a dear friend who daughter might just be eager to try them. Beautiful!❤️
Awesome :) I hope she enjoys making the wings :)
BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.... CONGRATULATIONSSSSS FROM BRASIL....
You're awesome! Beautiful work. The bleeding adds so much to the overall fiber optics display, especially in the dark. Great tutorial.
Wow your eye color with your make up, really pops
This video needs more likes! Beautiful wings so jelly.
Thank you 😘
These are unbelievably stunning
Thank you 😊
Holy crap - that’s incredible! LOVE IT!!!
Thank you 😘
I have to say I love all your tutorials. Very inspiring 💜
Thank you so much, I'm so glad 😊
OMG! I don't know what to say to such an amount of beauty! I am speechless 😍🤩🥰
Very pretty 😀
The main reason why I watched this video was for the effect that turned out to be a happy "mistake" as Bob Ross would say. I really love the accidental light framing/light bleeding of the wing details. I honestly thought it was on purpose and I wanted to recreate the light effect. Thank you for the tutorial and for being so detailed in your making of these wings.
Very cool. Next time buy PVC shower curtain with the hologram effect and you could save some money. The light leaking turned great in the end.!
I would gladly pay 700-1000 for these they are really worth that much… time and effort… and outstanding result
these are GORGEOUS
These wings are phenomenal!!! "No mistakes, just happy accidents" Bob Ross. I think it was a happy accident having the bleed out and then you sanding a bit to accentuate it. If we had not have seen what you went through with the bleed out, we would have no idea that final look was not intentional. Just brilliant!! Have you gotten to wear them out any where yet? These wings must be seen by many!!! Thank you for sharing your process!!! I love these wings!!!
Darling, you are a Master Wingmaker!
These are the most amazing wings!
They are brilliant! Well done! Although I have now decided it would be easier to grow my own wings than copy this 😂
I still watched the whole thing!!
Loved the video and how the wings turned out!! “Leaning into a mistake” is a great way to approach the situation when things don’t go as expected. I looked at the ants on a melon website, not sure if your mentioned it but you purchased the whip for the fiber optics?
oooo my goodness...this is awesome. You're making these on your own,,,,U R one talented w0man...
I'm so glad you posted this video. This looks amazing. I was looking into fiber optics for a potential halloween costume (jellyfish!) but...honestly, it'd be a nice finishing touch and seeing how testy fiber optics can be, after watching your video, I'm not sure sure I would be able to use them the way I want to lol. Beautiful wings though! Job well done!
brilliant! love it!
So beautiful🥺
Awesome tutorial! Love it!!!!!
Thank you for sharing the link to the plastic PVC stuff you used! I just finished my pair of wings. I used leather instead of wire, and I used the PVC you showed. Everyone I showed loves them. I gotta make more!
Oh thats great! I'd love to know how you used leather in replacement of the wire 😊
@@LadyofFaewood A TH-camr named RobertoVitucciLeatherPatterns does leather work wings that shows how. I edited both your patterns to make my own once I knew the basics of what to do. It was actually easier to do than expected. Also, I used eyelets in the base of the wings, so there's no bar going down the back of a corset or straps around the arms. The wings sew into the back of a corset using ribbon or cording. It was so fun making them, I'm making more to sell in my Etsy.
@@lexsycraftsllc Awesome ill definitely go check out his channel 😊
Your wings are beautiful, it's such an amazing idea!
Thank you 😘
These are gorgeous! Well done!❤
Omg! I'm really in love with this job!😍 well done!👌
Thank you for this tutorial. I have a little doll I want to make into a fairy.
Hasta ahora las mejores alas de hada que he visto
I have iridescent beads I would probably add to my wings just for the sparkle factor.
just WOW! your work is amazing, such a talented artist. keep on with that creativity
Hi Everyone, I have just made a cheaper alternative to these wings if you are looking to save some coins! th-cam.com/video/YTNz6OWOkdY/w-d-xo.html
You know what would go with these wings? A faerie throne! th-cam.com/video/lR8lnDCk3YE/w-d-xo.html
Or you might enjoy a wizard staff! th-cam.com/video/PdL8mopDWd8/w-d-xo.html
Anyways I hope you guys enjoy these projects and find inspiration for your own xx
Bloody Amazing!!! There are no mistakes just happy accidents!
I love your wings😍

Entirely stunning.
immmediately i said OMG. as in I NEED TO MAKE THIS
Starting at about 3:10 the Brian Froud artwork you're looking at is the same art he used to make his tarot deck. It's awesome.
Absolutely love them!! Beautifully done!!
Thank you 😘
Amazing love it can’t wait to try this!!!!!!
Sharon have you put these beautiful fairy wings together? It look beautiful when you were done.
This is incredible!!! You dealt so well with the issue
Amazing
Those look so amazing
Great job! Look so awesome in the dark
Thank you ❤
Just...wow! Ok. How much??? Halloween is a mere 3 mos away! 😍🤩🥰
could I use already made wings and add the fiber optic strands?
GREAT VIDEO
Thank you it's my sister birthday! Thanks!
Happy birthday to your sister 💓
Looks so beautifull 😍
this is so beautiful, thank you for sharing
Obviously the light effect makes these wings absolutely ....
*_b r e a t h taking_*
(seriously, those are the most gorgeous wings I've ever seen on here ✨💜✨)
BUT what I wanted to comment on was how happy I am that I've finally found someone who STITCHES the wings instead of gluing them!!
I was so so discouraged before with my project, and I was afraid stitching them would somewhat be unprofessional of me,
but now I have so much more confidence.
I'd rather make one pair of really durable wings instead of making new floppy ones every single time I need wings.
I love you, thank you for all this lovely content and your amazing energy!! 🤗✨💕💕 #rolemodel
would it work to put the fiber optics between the wing layer and say a clear contact paper. no glue needed?? and just litely sand where you want the light to come through while putting the fibers on the contact paper. you could any design you wanted that way. maybe?
I've definitely considered if that would work, but I haven't tried it as yet. I think it has the potential to work well though 😊 If anyone tried that out I'd love to know how it goes 😊
So amazing! Love it!
Thank you 😚
The brown paper reminds me of old fashioned dress/clothing patterns. I think this might be a better idea than the cardboard in that respect. :) I'm surprised tape wouldn't pull off the iridescence. Personally, I don't think most people will notice the stitches with that amount of shine from the iridescence. These are gorgeous wings! I think you've started on your way from costume designer to adding effects creator to your resume/CV. I so wish I could have stopped you from using the CA glue. It kind of eats through the fiber optics, ack! You deserve a hug for going through that. I wonder if you could have used a glue gel or if that would have been too clumpy. I never think of epoxy because I haven't made anything needing that strong of a hold yet. Even with the CA glue mishap, I think they almost look more natural than they might have otherwise. This is very nice work! :)
Thank you 😘 I wish I could stop me from using it too lol
I don't know anything about the glue you used. That said, I think it created a very happy accident with the outlines. Only problem I can think of, with what you said about the glue, it might cause accelerated fragility to the materials. Excellent wings!!!
Incredible!
💜 Oh wow...they have turned out amazing! 🌟 Jx
Thank you 😘
thank you so much for the video and help of wings
wow!
Fabulous!❤️😍 You are such a talent😎
Thank you 😘
From flow toy to fairy wing. That's actually pretty genius.
Although to my understanding the main difference in these types of whips is how well they, well, flow. So unless one wants the specific features of that whip you linked I'm pretty sure a much cheaper one would do.
Bravo c'est splendide !
This is amazing 👏
How much would you say you spent for material? I’d love to do the same 🥲 xx thanks
Wow
Would you recommend using PVC for regular wings that don’t light up? I like the shiny iridescent look but worried about using fire & seeing the wrinkles that comes with using cellophane so I’m thinking maybe PVC is a good alternative. Thank you, love your wings! 😍🧚🏾♀️
I really like the look of pvc for wings and it's really sturdy, so if you are happy to pay the extra for pvc I do prefer it 😊
Omg I'm in love with these wings. Do you sell them?
Amazing wings!! Wow! What is the stitch you used to sew them called? Thank you!
nice Wings i liked
Wanting to make my own fairy wings soooo bad and am obsessed with these, how much would you say the this project costs??
I haven't added everything up but these are definitely not budget wings lol ... main costs are the fiber optics and the pvc .. there are some cheaper fiber optic torches on Amazon but I don't know how good they are. Bonus of these wings is you can remove the torch from these and use the torch for other fiber optic projects ☺
Damn she has good experience with making wings you can made a business out of this
Thanks :) For now I'm happy just showing others my wing experiments :)
How did you put them on? From my understanding the straps are for the arm but how would the wings work? I. Trying to make some wings very similar but I’m kinda confused lol
I make fairy reborns and my wings have always been a hit but I needed some better structure. I use Angelina fantasy film which is expensive. I don't know why it didn't dawn on me to use regular art cellophane.
These are the most magnificent wings I have seen and as you know there are enough fairy wing tutorials to keep one viewing for months.
Yours is the only one I am responding to
Please don't think I am being flirtatious. I actually am a 68yo grandmother.
You are quite stunningly beautiful.
Do you ever do make up tutorials?
Sorry I digress...
Would these fiber optic lites come smaller? Or do you think the ones you used are an ok size for these reborns. They are the shape and size of a regular baby
Omg fairy reborns sound amazing 😍 thank you, I do occasionally post makeup videos 😊 I have definitely seen shorter optic fibres out there, but not always with a light source included. If you find one at the price point you are after you can trim the fibres as short as you like. I am using irridecent pvc fabric for these wings, but you could use cellophane, I'm just not sure how it holds up with fibre optics 😊
How did you sew the wire and plastic together (is there a specific stitch name, I'm just trying to understand)? These look WAY easier to me than the cellophane wings that scare me. I just might be making myself some wings...
I dont know what the name of the stitch would be actually, but I would do one straight stitch alongside the wire, go across to the other side of the wire and do another straight stitch..if that makes sense, it's hard to describe stitches. I didn't want a zigzag stitch because I wanted the stitches to be in line with the wire so instead I was doing alternating straight stitches on either side of the wire. They definitely take time to make but I'm so happy with the outcome 😊
I will do this for my baby sis birthday 🌺
Lucky girl!
Will people be able to see these during the day at all??
Will u make another ine for me pls😩💕
What size are your wings? How much organza did you use?
Where did u buy the fiber optics?
Did you use 140 fibers or 200 for the fiber color?
Have you experimented with lasers in your wearables?
I can't say I have....I'm not even sure how I would incorporate them but it could be cool 😊
Honestly it was meant to be
How long did this take you?
Oooohhhhhh
