🧚✨I Made Fairy Wings w/ Iridescent Tulle Fabric! ✨ Cosplay Renaissance Faire DIY Project

[@Hair8Metal8Karen]

"Because these wings are not for me, I actually made up a plan" So relatable.

[@KatherineRoseArt]

Hey! I used to make wings that i sold at renaissance festivals... I put in a U shaped brace in the back... it keeps the wings from flopping around and you can insert it down into the back of a corset if you want (i also had ties attached so it could be attached that way too). it makes it very secure. i think you could easily attach wire in a U shape at the bottom and cover w/ floral tape... it will work better and hold up much longer than that craft foam.

[@KatherineRoseArt]

i mean if you ever make a new pair. wish i could give you an illustration of what i mean but its a U with a piece going straight across at the top to give stability to the structure. so a U shape with a --- across it. :)

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Afterward I saw a pair like that on Etsy from the shop I referenced. I wish I had seen that before I gave them to my commissioner lol. But yeah I’ll definitely be doing U wire like I did with my other pair.

[@sewvintagebysunraedoll]

I prefer straps too for my wings. I used elastic than covered with matching fabric same as my top. No one even knew how I had on 🙌 not all of us wear corsets. ✨💕✨

[@DressMeUpScotty]

So true! The person I made it for was wearing a vest so he didn’t have anywhere to put a u wire. In hindsight some designs have the U wire there for stability but then have the straps as well. But they worked they came to pick them up!

[@saraivy]

These came out beautifully! Trial-and-error is the only way to make and we just figure it out as we go 🥰 That wire you used is called bailing wire. My husband uses it for literally everything and it gets SO MESSY!! I started making wings about 10 years ago and I love using steel galvanized wire, usually about a 16gauge. Its sturdy, maleable, and doesnt leave smudges all over your hands. You can get a big roll at the hardware store for not much $.

They turned out so cute!!!!!!!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Thank you! ♥️

[@RosieRoot]

They turned out beautifully! ❤ That fabric is a dream

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Tysm! ♥️

[@seashell3403]

I LITERALLY HAVE BEEN LOKING FOR THIS FOREVER OMG YOU ARE AMAZING I CAN BE THE FAE OF MY DREAMS

[@DressMeUpScotty]

🥰🥰♥️

[@Sleipnirseight]

Thanks for sharing!! I made some from cellophane, so it'll be fun to try making some with a different technique

[@DressMeUpScotty]

♥️♥️

[@ElliePlayerOne]

Okay I love, new-ish subscriber here. I’m obsessed and I just started watching!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yay glad to have to here 😁

[@ElliePlayerOne]

@@DressMeUpScotty so so happy to be here!!

[@LS-um3zq]

They are beautiful!

[@sharoncrimm]

Those are so beautiful. 😍😍😍 I really need to make myself a pair. I'd love to be a little fairy. Loved the video. You always make them so fun. Ty.❤❤❤

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yay definitely make some! (Altho I’d recommend doing a U wire for stability 🫢) Glad you enjoyed! ♥️

[@StephanieCanada]

Excellent work! ❤

[@Serenity-Hedgenettle]

Stunning work!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Thank you!

[@katelynraine6067]

That fabric is gorgeous!! I love how they turned out

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Thanks you! ♥️

[@meggie2192]

These look great! Nice work! Thank you for showing all the trial and errors. Its super helpful.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Thank you! ♥️

[@yepits2675]

they came out so cute!!! i have pretty much half the stuffs needed, might try this out ✨

[@stephanied357]

They are beautiful! I love how the colors came together. Cicada wings look like fairy wings to me anyways. I make earrings out of their wings, when I find them hiking. The cicada has passed away, when I find them. Great job, lady. 😍👏👏👏

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Ty!! ♥️

[@pennybergmen8933]

I love that, like me, while working on the floor, you use your third hand….. your foot! Gorgeous wings!!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Haha gotta get that stability 😂

[@jenniefowler4968]

I like the idea of painting the veins on. I tried to do it with wire and it was too heavy. I might revisit that project.

[@ArtichokeHunter]

love your mushroom shirt

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Ty! 🍄

[@araneljones]

FYI, this fabric can be dyed with RIT dye. I dyed and overdyed my fabric to get unique colors.

[@cosmojinxable]

Love these! Do you know what gauge wire you used?

[@cosmicsoul7073]

[@MoonDust22951]

I used this fabric for fairy wings over the summer. Biggest pain in my ass, but sooo pretty. Unfortunately instead of a lighter wire I used a hanger. I had to make 2 sets of wings with 4 panels each(took me forever). They were for my neices for the Sterling Renaissance fair. I think I'll test run my soldering tool next time on this fabric and DEFINITELY use a lighter wire. NO WIRE HANGERS!

[@sallycormier1383]

Nice!

[@carissakirksey6606]

Would bailing wire work better? It's sturdier, but still workable. I use it for a lot of things.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

It might! I’ve never used it as far as I know But if it’s sturdy and workable I think it would be perfect.

[@carissakirksey6606]

@@DressMeUpScotty I hope it'll be just the thing for you!

[@FuriousAquarian]

Where did you get your hoodie!! I need it!

[@novagalactica]

Absolutely love your videos! By the way, where did you get the raccoon hoodie? I’ve been looking for something like that for my sister.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Oh the sweatshirt is from my shop! I have this one and the sketch version too. There’s a shop tab on my videos and on my KZbin profile that should show some of the options.

[@cxcozmo]

I THOUGH THIS WAS ALREADY OUT 😭😭😭

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Soon! 6pm PST 😁

[@pupu6948]

😍😍😍😍

[@Bexinmo]

Did you try melting the edge instead of pinking?

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yes and that seemed to work ok. I melted it down using the tip of the hot glue gun after it was attached and trimmed down further.

[@Bexinmo]

@@DressMeUpScotty I made a butt ton of poly satin flowers for a costume I was working on, and as soon as I cut all the petals it was like instant fray everywhere, hank god the plan was to melt them anyway or I would have had nothing but a pile of pretty strings.

[@promisestarxd9487]

Wondering why you didn’t just make a U shape out of wire like literally every other tutorial on KZbin 🧐 very pretty though

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Because the person wearing them isn’t wearing a corset so they opted for straps since there wasn’t anywhere to put the U wire into. I could have done both but didn’t think to do that.

[@CH-oc7sh]

Cut it like lace next time and use a soldering iron! It's a plastic fabric and won't fray!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Oh that’s a good idea! I don’t have a soldering iron but I have a wood burner tool with a needle tip, looks similar to a soldering iron I could probably use! 😁

[@katiec.wingsnthingsstudio3203]

Fray stop on the edges before you cut.

[@_Sapph_]

Ok passing out from blood. Fine. But dreaming of Shrek????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 I have questions lol story time?

[@DressMeUpScotty]

😂😂😂 it’s such an embarrassing story. We’ll save that for my next Q&A 😂
