How I build some simple standard wings.
They are super easy to build out of cheap materials and the attachment is invisible.
Hope this helps! ♥
Materials:
-Aluminium PVC pipe (needs to be a bit flexible/(heat)bendable)
-Worbla Finest Art (Roughly half of a XS sheet (5€) is enough)
-EVA Foam / carpboard (as core material)
-Hot glue
-Velcro tape
-Plastic foil / Laminate Wood Floor Underlay / Acoustic White Foam (German name is 'Trittschalldämmung')
Tools:
-Hot Air Gun
-Scissor
-Hot glue gun
-Jigsaw (for cutting the pipe)

[@maxcrimson3720]

Oooo, I've been planning an Aziraphale/Crowley cosplay for a while and this gives me several great ideas and a base for their wings! I love watching time lapses. My only question is about the base, I see that it's foam covered in warbla (right?) with velcro (industrial strength I'm thinking) but how did u attach the wings to the cosplay its self? A harness of some kind?

[@seme]

Glad it helps ❤️ You're right so far, and it's good velcro but not industrial actually. The bigger and heavier the wings, the stronger the attachment needs to be. In this case, they are so lightweight, the attachment plate alone, without an additional harnish or so on can be sewn to the back of the costume without dropping it physically

[@PortalJay]

That's the exact same reason that I'm here, my dude 😅

[@Knox_Crow]

Honesty one of pet peeves is when people out the wings basically on they're butt (unless that's the actual design if the character) like hon that's to low, that doesn't work.

[@seme]

Yeah, I get your point XD-

[@princessjupiter922]

Where did you get the idea that Worbla is cheap? That's actually expensive!

[@seme]

You need just so few of this, it costs max 5$ USD, the smallest available plate is enough. This is cheap in my opinion! =)

[@kanaka4398]

Compared to buying feathers this is cheap. Plus nobody will have a duplicate of what you make which makes it all the more cost worthy.

I think the best part about these wings it that because there is very little framework and hard material, you're less liking to hit someone with them, and bumping into something won't immediately break them.

Actually you can throw them on the ground and nothing would happen and yeah, they are soft and can't hurt someone XD

Yes, it's a PVC Pipe which was heatshaped. :) And the material is in the describtion, it's meant to wrap things for safe shipping originally. And can be painted! Primer would be too heavy for this build here though.

Hi! Actually I didn't know it at that time but the best solution are actual regular PVC pipes. You can shape them carefully when heated-up (wear a respiratory mask) and when they cool down they will harden again and stay in shape! :)

[@thanhhungkkk3564]

Hey I’m so interested in this and I really want to make it for my next performance. Can I ask you that what’s is the brown rectangle things? I see in the description that it’s Worbla. I’m not sure if I have it in my country, are there any replacements? It’s just a hard thing to keep the wings straight?

[@seme]

Hey! :) It's a thermoplastic material, it's soft and moldable when heated up and sturdy and hard when it cooled down again. Also it keeps its shape afterwards. The thicker the layers, the more sturdy the result. You can actually replace this with different materials/techniques, it just worked best for me since it comes in very handy. If you search for 'Worbla Finest Art', you should find many shops that ship worldwide who sell it.

[@MrChainsawFX]

SEME Cosply are you or have you become aware that you can bond that sort of foam to itself with a heat gun? You can heat it and stick it together just like Worbla. Works just like a glue gun but with a heat gun. You got to be careful though, it is thin sheeting.

[@cherrymoon4317]

i'm doing a cosplay with multiple sets of wings, do you think that one larger and two smaller sets would still stay on with velcro? :o

[@seme]

I think you'd need to attach them all separately and with LOT of velcro to use this technique for them. Today I would stick to different techniques though! You could use a simple plug-in system with pipes or something like that e.g.! :)

[@KimberleySheridan88]

babe get and Olfa cutting knife and cut it out on the measuring pad you have! it will save time and be more accurate, also save fingers and prevent hand cramps :)

[@seme]

Hey! :) That's absolutely NO option for the material, it can rip when you try that and cutting the round corners is pretty nasty, everything can be messed up fast here! Otherwise I always use it so you're pretty right with that!! < 333 Changed to the scissor though since it was much better

[@snazzypants5296]

so they are just attached with velcro? and, do you think ay other materials than worbla would work? I want to make these, but in a bit of a different style so I want to understand them the best I can.

[@seme]

Yes, only velcro. This works only when they are small and lightweight enough though. The base covered in worbla can be built in many different ways. You just need to make sure it's stable enough and the veclro is super fix on it. Even sewing velcro to fabric would work if the farbic wraps around something stiff and stable.

Can I use blow dryer to instead of heatgun?

[@seme]

You can always try, some blow dryer are quite hot and these should do the job! However, there are a lot of thermoplastics available and each has a specific point of bending at one temperature.

[@airajaneandales8377]

thank you! ♡

[@hannahthome2034]

How do you attach them to a costume tho? Can't see the mechanic in the back on my phone that well

[@seme]

The wings are connected with velcro to a small base. This base can be sewn to a clothingpiece or can be glued on. Since the wigns are super lightweight, they won't pull the clothing down afterwards. =)

How thick was the plastic foil you used for this? Very nice wings! :D

[@seme]

Thank you!! :)) It was around 3-5mm I think

Thank you!!! :))

[@ohsnaptutorials5409]

Do you have a pattern for the wings?

[@seme]

I usually make them by myself (also as commissions), sadly don't have this one anymore!

[@SmileBot2000]

What if you want your wings different colors?

[@seme]

Paint it, buy different material, many options :)

SEME Cosplay can you make a in-depth tutorial of how to make this?

[@AmberNBrown-qk8ly]

What did you use to add color like in the thumbnail?

[@seme]

That's was spray paint! The absolute best paint for this would be airbrush paints since they're opaque and flexible.

[@AmberNBrown-qk8ly]

@@seme I'll definitely keep that in mind when I make my next set. Just finished a pair for a convention and I used acrylic based spraypaint which is great for going over foam because it's not harsh like oil based, but it's not very flexible. Any movement makes it crack and its kinda flaky.

I have a upcoming cosplay and am looking for some red wings do u do commissions?

[@seme]

Yes I do, you find all informations on my homepage or in my etsy shop. =)

[@KitsuneSpirit82825]

Wear it, go to the dark woods and add the wings to glow and whenever you see lost people in the woods act like you enjoy the night, see the lost person and make them safe

[@seme]

That would be beautiful! uwu
