How to make wings at home - tools, materials and step-by-step manufacturing description

The angel costume is very common at both adult themed parties and children's parties. This costume can look cute at a children's party and bold on Halloween. The main feature of the costume, of course, remains the wings. At first glance, such a product seems complex and labor-intensive, but in fact even novice craftsmen can make it.

DIY swallow costume for a girl

The New Year is approaching, and this means that soon all children will begin holidays in kindergartens or schools. How to make your daughter look original and curious, but at the same time not spend money on an expensive suit? A good solution would be to make a costume on your own from the means at hand and allow your daughter to participate in the design along with you. This way you will be able to create exactly what she wants and show the child that you care about him and are ready to spend time and effort for his holiday.

Which suit should you choose? In this article, you will learn how to dress up your daughter as a swallow, what will be needed for this, and how different the options for this seemingly ordinary New Year's costume can be.

Shape selection

There are a large number of master classes on how to make angel wings. Depending on the theme of the evening and the duration of the service, it is worth making one or another choice. Some items are intended to be used only once, while others are considered reusable crafts.

Before you start creating this accessory, you need to decide on three points: parameters, position and style.

For a child, a small accessory is suitable, with light weight and not interfering with movements; for an adult party, a larger design will be needed. If there is dancing at the matinee, then it should not cause discomfort. And design depends entirely on imagination.

They can be either folded or raised. For a matinee, a folded design is more suitable, and for a photo shoot - straightened out to the fullest extent.

The form is chosen based on the imagination of the master.

Making a swallow costume for a girl with your own hands

The main colors for the upcoming outfit: black and snow-white, which eliminates the need to buy additional fabric (a medical system of cells and intercellular substance, united by a common origin, structure and functions)

or things of a special kind.
You can even use a one-piece black swimsuit, wearing snow-white tights under it, if your daughter has ever danced. And if there is nothing suitable, but you have the desire and snow-white fabric (a medical system of cells and intercellular substance, united by a common origin, structure and functions)
, then the outfit can be sewn without the help of others.

What you need for sewing

Depending on what exactly you will sew, a dress or a separate suit with pants and a turtleneck, you will need a pattern suitable for this item, fabric (a medical system of cells and intercellular substance, united by a common origin, structure and functions)

, scissors and needle. You should not take complex things, especially if you do not have enough experience in sewing. There is such a great opportunity to make a mistake and waste a lot of time. Things can be kept monochromatic, and the emphasis can be placed specifically on attributes.

For the mask and other parts, you will need colored paper, glue and any decorative elements that you can find in the house: feathers, rhinestones and others.

Suit base

Using a pattern, make a dress or other thing from snow-white fabric (The structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology)

. Be sure to finish all the edges and pay attention to the size of the resulting product: the child must be comfortable in it, because he will spend several hours in the clothes, dance and participate in various children's competitions.

If you take ready-made clothes, make sure that they are not too small for the girl and that she will not be hot.

IMPORTANT! The snow-white color is very sensitive to stains - be prepared for the fact that after the holiday, a brand new turtleneck may no longer be the same white. Therefore, choose those things that you can literally put into appropriate form later or those that you can sacrifice for the sake of the holiday.

Mantle with tail and wings of a swallow

An important element of the costume will be the bird's tail and wings. All this can be placed on a mantle, which is simply sewn and will not interfere with movements much. In addition, this will free you from the need to search for other black things and will enhance the similarity of the suit to a real bird.

In order not to attach the wings separately, you can process the edges of the sleeves in the form of a fringe, so that they resemble feathers. And the mantle itself must be narrowed towards the end and, using slightly wider cutouts, a “tail” must be created.

For the mantle, it is better to choose a very light fabric (a medical system of cells and intercellular substance, united by a common origin, structure and functions)

, which will not hang like a heavy burden on the girl’s shoulders. Floating silk or chiffon will be the best choice.

Making a headdress

You can either put an existing black Panama hat or cap on your head, or you can also create a swallow’s head without the help of others.

If you are going to also create a mask, then the headdress should be very ordinary, preferably plain, black. Otherwise, there is this option: create a swallow’s head from cardboard with a beak. It will consist of a not very wide rim, an outline and a nose glued to it. This method is suitable for mothers who can draw and love to do this.

Swallow mask

It's also easy to create a mask. For this you will need:

• sketch of a swallow;
• scissors;
• rubber.

It is very important not to make a mistake with the size of the mask. It must be perfectly suitable for the child, both in terms of head circumference, width and length, as well as the location of the slits for the eyes.

It is important that the girl can completely navigate in space with a mask on her face and breathe comfortably.

Instead of a mask, just make a small beak with an elastic band. It is made either from black and colored paper, or from ordinary paper and then painted.

Now you understand how to make a real swallow costume on your own, using the tools at hand and involving your child in the process. In this form, the girl will look especially beautiful, so she will remember the New Year as one of the best holidays!
