Hi my lovely Fae Folk! If you would like something extra special I now have a video showing you how to make fiber optic fairy wings :) th-cam.com/video/EFi65fCJ29s/w-d-xo.html Or maybe you would like to make a faerie throne fit for a fae princess! th-cam.com/video/lR8lnDCk3YE/w-d-xo.html
I've made cellophane wings before, and they were so fragile and hard to work with especially with the heat gun trying not to ruin them, so I wanted to look into sheer fabric wings to make for my wedding this month. And this is just gorgeous! I'm using this as inspiration, even tho mine will be quite different in style. Thank you for all these ideas and techniques! Blessed be dear!
By far the most beautiful fairy wings I’ve seen being made! Not only was I glad to find some not being made from cellophane but also without the back to go in a corset as I won’t be wearing one. I’m so pleased that I found your channel & wonderful video, with such clear instructions so thank you so much. I have subscribed ❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous! I've been struggling with the base of my daughter's wings and how they sit on her back, your version is so clever! Thank you for sharing. 🥰
This was SO helpful, thank you, exactly what I was looking for. I was looking at making some cellophane ones, but I found this gorgeous organza material I wanted to use and there were like no tutorials for this! I appreciate you
That's awesome beautiful work and the wings look fabulous. When I was small (many many years ago) my mother's godmother used to make the hats/crowns for the carnival queens and bride diadems in Panama. thanks for the memories.
I love these wings, just beautiful! I'm creating a pair of wings for my daughter to wear to the Renaissance Faire and this gave me so many great ideas. Thank you. My daughter is going to be a Woodland Fairy, so we will be using more leaves etc. But I wasn't sure how to construct the base so it would sit on her back. This video helped me a ton. Thank you again, looking forward to more great tutorials!
I agree with all the comments about how fantastic your tutorial is!! Great visual, sequential steps, & explanation of what you were doing & why!! You’re a great instructor!!
I love the circle structure you use! I’ve been looking at different wing designs for my costume and most are made to fit in a corset but I really didn’t want that fuss.
Oh, I wanted to also say, that you are a very talented artist! Your attention to detail is outstanding, and your color sense is excellent! Thanks for sharing your skill & talents!!
So pretty! The little girl in me gets all giddy when I see the sparkles and flowers and bug-inspired design 💕. Gonna try this technique for my Deethra the Gelfling costume. Thanks so much!
I’m going to a renaissance faire this summer and I am also going as a flower fairy, these wings are absolutely beautiful and I will definitely be using this tutorial as inspiration thank you so much! 😊
You did a beautiful job building those wings. I just loved it. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie. Thanks so much for sharing. How are you in about putting this beautiful project together
These are beautiful. Well worth going to the end. I find most videos skip over important bits. I like to burn the ends of my organza with a lighter. It gives a very cool edge
Absolutely over the top ornate and they look so light!...am inspired to do one in a mini version for the girls...stay blessed and thank you for sharing
Your wings are gorgeous!!!! I tried to make some this week with floral wire as the base and man did that not work out how I expected. Gonna scrap them and try your technique
So happy to find you! Very creative, talented, well spoken, easy to follow and understand. Great teaching skills! Love these wings, beautiful, realistic! TY!
Beautiful!!! I have started a painting series of faeries (love the Old English spelling!). I now have 3 videos on TH-cam of my little ones. Love your style! So lovely!!!
Oh awesome! I love anything to do with faeries 😊 being a massive Brian Froud fan I always use that spelling - I also think of fairy as super sweet child like creatures and the fae or faerie as a more mysterious darker adult version of fairy 😘
Mine are based more on Will-o’-the -wisps. Nighttime faeries, sprites, also called ghost lights! So my paintings aren’t brightly colored but more like how we see colors at night- faded. Except the faeries are the nightlight! So they illuminate the area just a little. I absolutely love your wings! The flowers are such a lovely touch!! 😍
Please! If you have a chance I’d love it if you checked out my art and left a comment! The Poppy Faerie is a progression video of the painting from beginning to end and the other two are slideshow tutorials. Still new to the video making 🤣
You are so , well,....crafty. I would almost never think of how to construct such a thing as a pair of wings. Where did you get a large amount of organza? What made you not choose black for the antennae? All the embellishments are lovely. The finished wings are wonderful. You should have been a costume designer in a movie studio. Thanks for sharing!!!
I got my organza from Ebay, and was quite cheap considering I could make a few pairs of wings - was $20aud for 10 metres. The antennae design was based on Brian Froud's sketches which has them as almost part of the wings which I love. So I made them the same colour and design. I was pretty happy with the result, but honestly was unsure at one stage how well they would come out. But I got a lot of compliments at the mythical markets :)
You're very talented. I could tell instantly how free your process was, just sketching it free hand till you got it how you saw it in your head. I'm jealous! I always have to look at a photo! :) Beautiful wings.
You know, one thing I wondered is, what would you think about make it where you're not using elastic but maybe rather cutting an oval out of wire and attaching it to the circle in the middle so you can seamlessly fit it under your bra? I love doing it this way since I found about it.
I'm wanting to make wings for Halloween and I was wondering would it be possible to make fabric wings with cellophane/holographic panels? I really love both styles and find that they both have different benefits
There's a fabric that is super floaty. It seems to hang in the air. I believe they make it in Japan. I want to make a set of fairey wings out of that. The only problem is it costs $100 a yard. 😳
Its actually fence wire - but you want something that is a hard wire - not a soft or half hard. But you can definitely double it up for more strength :)
I buy my flowers and lace from a few places really, I think though a lot of those ones came from Ebay. But I also buy from Etsy, and Australian craft supply shops like Lincraft and Spotlight. You would be amazed though at how much stuff you can find on Ebay. Good luck with the wings :)
Perhaps you could use glitter glue sticks! Possibly it would save you some time and then all you would need to do is put on the holographic glitter as you glue with the glitter glue sticks! Very pretty!
Hello, Your wings looks really beautiful, really great job . Could to tell me, which kind of wire did you use ? Is it special wire ? Greetings from Poland.
LOVE.... trying to muster the courage to make some fairy wings for my granddaughter and I. We'll be attending our local fairy festival for the third yr. and this yr. I wanted to add a really nice pair of wings to her costume. One question, where would I be able to purchase the type of lace you used, loved the small pieces you used along the veins. Thanks for sharing your wonderful techniques.
Awesome :) thanks so much! I got the lace from Ebay but many places sell lace appliques. If you want to dye them you can make the lace damp and use a brush to apply dye and it blends really nicely. Good luck with the wings :)
I haven't tried cellophane but I've seen other tutorials with cellophane so it seems to work. Let us know how you go with them and if cellophane worked out for you 😊
@@LadyofFaewood Thanks for the quick reply! I'll definitely let you know, I'm actually working on it now. Just to check, is using solely 14 gage wire for the circle and wing veins adequate? I also have 9-gage but it's very difficult to shape.
14 should be fine I would think, for heavy wings like the dragon ones I did you'd want the thicker 12 or 10 even but cello isn't heavy. Good luck with it 😀
@@LadyofFaewood The cello i have did not work at all, so I'm thinking of using organza like you did (glad I had a tester!). I have a low-temp glue gun, will that work for the organza? Or do I need a higher temperature?
Oh what a shame! But you never know until you try. My hot glue isn't heat controlled - it's a cheapy from Ebay. It worked fine for me and in the tutorial I mention using the glue on top of organza because it was thin enough for glue to go through. If it's not just do a bit at a time so the glue doesn't set before you can stick down the organza
Bonjour waouuu j'adore magnifique. J'aimerais beaucoup me faire c'est ailes mais je suis nul en dessin serait-il possible de m'envoyer votre dessin par la poste svp contre rétribution bien sûr ? Merciii beaucoup cordialement Corinne

You can buy bolts of organza from any place where they sell dress-making material. :)

I have seen fabric with holographic panels and that could work for sure 😊
Sooooo pretty 😍😍😍
Thank you 😘
amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 😘
Do you think this method would still work if I use tulle?
I would think so, I cant think why it wouldn't. Let us know how you get on with it 😊
@@LadyofFaewood well I've already started it and so far so good :)
Thanks for sharing, hoping to try make my own for my tinkerbell costume instead of buying $200 ones of etsy.
Also i didnt realise you were australian until you mentioned riot craft haha.
Oh cool, I hope the costume turns out great 😊
This is beautiful can you please make more videos like this!?
Thanks so much 😘 I have a dragon wing video as well 🙂
This is great! And you look great :-)
Can u make the wing fly?
Loved your wings and your costume did you make your dress as well?
Thank you 😘 no didn't make this one, it was an ebay find 😊
There's a fabric that is super floaty. It seems to hang in the air. I believe they make it in Japan. I want to make a set of fairey wings out of that. The only problem is it costs $100 a yard. 😳
you are so clever i am going to have a go even though i probably will never wear them but they are so pretty
Thank so much 😘 I'm sure you could find an excuse to wear some wings, you know like grocery shopping or to the office hehe Good luck with them!
what brand and thickness of wire did you use?
Beautiful video, well made and great music:) Did you use single, thick gauge wire or double it? Sweet! Thanks for sharing!
Its actually fence wire - but you want something that is a hard wire - not a soft or half hard. But you can definitely double it up for more strength :)
Can I ask where did you get the flowers and patches? I want to do fairy wings so bad and you did it perfect!! 😍😍😍
I buy my flowers and lace from a few places really, I think though a lot of those ones came from Ebay. But I also buy from Etsy, and Australian craft supply shops like Lincraft and Spotlight. You would be amazed though at how much stuff you can find on Ebay. Good luck with the wings :)
Perhaps you could use glitter glue sticks! Possibly it would save you some time and then all you would need to do is put on the holographic glitter as you glue with the glitter glue sticks! Very pretty!
Thank you :) yeah you could definitely use the glitter sticks if you preferred :)
Beautiful! What materials did you use?
Волшебство!
What dimensions are the wings from top to bottom and side to side? And whats the diameter of the harness?
I’m trying to make these and I’ve gotten to the part where I got glue the organza to the wire but mine isn’t sticking and I don’t know what to do :(
Hello,
Your wings looks really beautiful, really great job . Could to tell me, which kind of wire did you use ? Is it special wire ? Greetings from Poland.
Thank you 😚 you want a very structural wire that is thick and hard like coat hanger wire. I used a fence wire from the hardware store
LOVE.... trying to muster the courage to make some fairy wings for my granddaughter and I. We'll be attending our local fairy festival for the third yr. and this yr. I wanted to add a really nice pair of wings to her costume. One question, where would I be able to purchase the type of lace you used, loved the small pieces you used along the veins.

Very nice tutorial! Did you ever use cardboard as a base instead of wire?
Thank you 😘 I haven't tried cardboard. If you try it let us know how you go 😊
Молодец!!!
Bonsoir ou avez-vous acheter vis patchs fleur pour décorer vos ailes SVP cordialement
hi do you make and ship out these wings
Hi there, no sorry I dont sell these but you are welcome to make them 😊
where did you get the large flowers you used? What are they made of, satin??
I got those from Ebay a long time ago, they are a satin like material, ebay is great for fake flowers 😊
How did you get the wire not to slowly droop down? 😩
You need to use a really hard wire, such as for fences or coat hangers. I bought mine from the hardware store 😊
how much organza do you need?
It really just depends on the size of the wings, I recommend working that out first to get the amount correct
These are amazing! Do you sell them?
Thank you, no I dont have time to make more to sell at the moment 🙂
Bonjour pourriez-vous me donner les dimensions de vos ailes svp cordialement
thank you for the video! If I did this method with cellophane though, when I try to bend the wings in the end, do you think the cellophane will tear?
I haven't tried cellophane but I've seen other tutorials with cellophane so it seems to work. Let us know how you go with them and if cellophane worked out for you 😊

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much. Can you properly spell Brain Frauls name you kept referencing?
Thank you 😘 his name is Brian Froud 😊
What wire did you use?
It's a fence wire 2mm, you want a hard thick wire so hardware stores are a great place to look 😊
Como faz a essa varinha?
The best!!!!❤❤❤
Thanks 😘
Nicely done video !! 🙂
Thank you :)
just shared your video on the facebook page International Fairy Tea Party
Thanks so much xx

Bonjour waouuu j'adore magnifique. J'aimerais beaucoup me faire c'est ailes mais je suis nul en dessin serait-il possible de m'envoyer votre dessin par la poste svp contre rétribution bien sûr ? Merciii beaucoup cordialement Corinne
Vraiment dommage que vous ne répondez jamais aux messages.... et que vous ne donnez jamais les dimensions dans vos tutoriels... je lâche l'affaire
Your wings are stunning but the music overlay drowned you out and was horribly distracting. It was like having the radio playing while watching tv. 🤯
