want to save some money on your kids costume? Simple! do it yourself with some easy to find items many of us already have. Heres what you will need:
4 wire hangers
wire cutters
2 pairs of stocking
spray paint (your color/colors of choice)
glitter glue
glue
rhinestones
incense stick
fake flowers
ribbons
Duct Tape
Instructions:
1. untwist the 4 hangers until you have 4 even sized pieces of wire. Bend two wires into IDENTICALLY MIRRORED shaped upper wing pieces, and two wires into IDENCIALLY MIRRORED shaped lower wing pieces. leave extra to duct tape the pieces together.
2. duct tape the four pieces together using the extra pieces- wrap it as well as you want, as we will cover it up later.
3. slip one stocking over each wire wing frame, and tie the extra off in the middle where the duct tape is.
4. spray paint the wings with your color, or colors of spray paint.
5. decorate your wings with glitter and rhrinestones. You can use the incense stick to GENTLY burn holes into the stocking to create a really unique look!
6. glue the fake flowers to the middle, completely covering up all your extra material and duct tape.
7. tie the ribbon to the sides of the fake flowers, and let them hang down your childs back for an extra faerie flair! You can also use ribbon to secure the wings onto your childs shoulders.
8. your are DONE!
Hope you all enjoy this little halloween tip! I've made these wings for friends and family, and even a set for my cats (mini sized wings, granted.
