Tutorial: DIY Baby Wings
Create wings for your baby yourself, using this tutorial. Tutorial can be used for creating wings for yourself or larger children, size of items used with just need to be adjusted to accommodate size.
Items Needed -
BASE:
- 2 Wooden Embroidery Hoops (both sides need
the screw, so you'll need two. the 2nd hoop that is included isn't the same
size, so it isn't needed)
- Tights or panty hose or stockings (some kind
of stretch nylon material, these are preferred.) (Color, depending on what you
want it to look like)
DECORATION:
- Pom poms (various sizes and/or colors)
- Fabric Paint
- Adhesive spray
- Loose/fine glitter
- 1/2 yard of tulle one color
- 1/4 yard of tulle other color
- Sewing thread
- Sewing needle
- Glue (depending on how hard your kid using
these, I went with super industrial glue)
- Elastic headband, aka Stretch Crochet Braid Trim (You can use a variety of
items to attach, it really depends on your child)
Step One:
Remove the screw from both embroidery hoops
(you will only need one to connect)
Step Two:
Carefully place the embroidery hoop within the
tights.
Step Three:
Tie off each end (tightly and so that the
fabric is tight around the loop). Remember that these ends will not go away, so
think about how you want to setup your wings so that you can accommodate for
these knots (I put pom poms over mine)
Step Four:
Cut the ends off of the hoop. Your ends should
be cut close to the knot. If you are using a stocking with a foot, you'll only
need to do this once.
Step Five:
Cut a teeny tiny hole in near the metal hole
and pull that out on each one.
Step Six:
Attach the hoops together like so
You now have a base of your wings.
