    Well I have never attempted a video with talking before.....so please excuse any awkwardness! It's oddly nerve wracking recording your own voice.... ^_^
    These are up later than I wished but I hope it's helpful for some of you and can give you some ideas of your own
    I'd love to try making more, of different designs, using the same idea
    Thank you so much for watching! ♥
    Enjoy
    Products I used:
    ~ 14 Gauge wire
    ~ 20 Gauge wire
    ~ 0.3mm Jewelry wire
    ~ Needle Nose Pliers (with wire cutter)
    ~ Silver Acrylic Paint - Dollar Store
    ~ Revlon Top Speed Black Nail Polish
    ~ Hot Glue Gun and Glue
    ~ Lace Fabric with Matching Thread
    ~ Craft Jewels
    Song: Mid Control

    I am totally doing this for my March Eridan and Undyne cosplay. They are way cheaper then those latex ones you can buy, and prettier too.

    I just landed here and you put so many thoughts together for me - I love wire, make wire faces, was thinking about what else. Minutes after seeing thisI grabbed a pen pad and ruler (to measure my ears), sketched, cut, grabbed my 16 ga gold colored copper, shaped, cut, twisted & love the the frame! Wow! THANK You for your clear and insightful instructions. I can't wait to finish these!

  • @lexisnek5476

    have you ever considered doing liquid latex over the lace to make them more flesh like? other then that awesome tutorial thank you so much might use this for my wedding.

    this is gorgeous! I hope it's not tacky to offer an option. I wanted wire butterflies, so I did the same with the wire, but used clear blue which I layered with glitter etc. Thank you for this!

    I have a quilting hoop, I think putting the fabric in that and then stitching around it would work well and hot glue when it is still in the hoop, glitter hot glue would look cool too.

    • @PinkMouseMala
      @PinkMouseMala 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Amy Blundell I free handed a shape on cardstock and molded the wires around that shape. I do wire work often so I didnt need much to get going. If I were you I wouldn't cut out the pattern after sketching it out. That way you have the whole sheet of paper to work with. Tap the paper down to a solid flat surface and mold the wires flat down like she does so you don't have to manage doing it in the air. You'll have more control on the shape. But you will have to sketch out a pattern you like.

  • @ARTFamtastic

  • @narkr8375
    @narkr8375 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome - thank you for sharing - These would also be great for mermaid or fairy dolls. I wonder if you could lightly use a flame or heat gun for the fuzzy edges after cutting off the fabric - it would seal to the wire.

  • @gaylemae
    @gaylemae 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The only thing I’d add is to slightly hammer the finished piece after shaping to add strength. Test fit some wire around just your ear to get a feel for how it feels, or as a base to attach to the winged part, even making a smaller winged set to place over or wear instead of the larger set. Sheer interfacing would also work as a cheaper sub for lace with no fray. Black would be pretty too, with silver & glitter. Tea or coffee dye the interfacing for a flesh color. Glitter hairspray would add some sparkle and stiffness.

    • @NsomniaksDream
      @NsomniaksDream  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly I just took a rough measurement of my ear length and width, so when I drew it on paper I knew it'd be "around" that size
      The wire is so malleable that even if you're off by quite a bit you can just pinch and bend the wire around your ear to help it stay on ^.^
