Tip for doubling up the floral wire next time: clamp one end of the wires in a vice grip or, like people who don't have a fully kitted out workshop, under something heavy like a sofa leg or stand mixer. Place the other ends in you drill like you would a drill bit and run the drill slowly. Nice, tight, uniform coiled wire. The things you learn watching random videos... Love your work!
I didn’t think of that! I’m very much a, so what I can with that I have and what I know which is why this time I made sure people knew this wasn’t exactly a tutorial since I’m trying it out for the first time lol.
Oh, me, too! Totally! My home renovations and project building are NEVER documented for that reason. Shhhh ;-) A week ago I also would have done what you did with the tape. When I saw the guy stick the wires in the drill and twist them my jaw dropped. So simple! So clever! Why did I never think of that?! Again, great job! You're an inspiration. 💛💛💛
Those wings are super cute. And I love how you watered down the paint to keep them sheer. The corset is beautiful as well. Adding this to my list of things I want to make. Haha
@@DressMeUpScotty in uni we did Midsummer Night’s & all of the fairies had airbrushed wings made similarly. That was… a LONG time ago and I have been meaning to make some for myself ever since (I played Puck and didn’t get wings - worth it :)) - thanks for the push!
I am unbelievably late to the party, but another quick tip is to use incense sticks to create a controlled burn hole in the wings! (I tried with nylon tights when I made mine many moons ago and it definitely works). Beautiful wings - I’m a new subscriber and am currently binge watching all your videos 🧚💜
🧚♀️🧚🧚🏻♂️ Love the wings and I appreciate your ✨journey✨ because all the materials you started out with would have been my choices too so now I can speedrum by them and make the better choices 😅🙏🧚♀️
I'll definitely need to check out that tutorial! I've been desperately wanting to make some wings of my own and this just gives me the kick I've been needing.
When I saw you had the dry cleaner's hangers expecting them to be full length, my heart immediately dropped for you because I did the exact same damn thing expecting more wire under all that cardboard for a similar project LMAOO 😂
Yeah I definitely had that problem with tights pulling the wire in too much! Great to see how you fixed it, now I'm considering trying again! I actually like seeing things that went wrong so I know how to fix them and also it's great for my perfectionism to see you can fix issues and still have an awesome product!
I do have a bunch of wire hangers around. So tempting, though I have no use for fairy wings~. But it would be so cute to slip into the back of a corset, which I also haven’t made. 😭 Anyway, so pretty~!
Oooohhh yeah!!! I meant to shout you out in one of my videos but I couldn’t find your note because my room is a hurricane disaster zone 😂😂 Tysm, you honestly didn’t have to but I appreciate it and definitely made my day 🥰🥰🥰
@@DressMeUpScotty I couldn’t just keep something that made you happy. It didn’t look that good on me anyways so it’s best to give back happy things! I’m just glad it got to you! I was so worried that it wouldn’t get to you and would end up with someone else but thankfully it worked out!
love your video but at the end (when you’re painting the wings like @19:00) the ambient background noises of the song kept making me thing my cats were getting into things
The wings I got from the fair are so nice I definitely think it’s worth buying then if you can find them. Next time I see her I’ll be getting another pair for sure!
These wings would be perfect for a fall fairy. Going to try my hand at making wings. Wonder if electric fence wire is too thick, but I still have a spool of it so I might try anyway
These are stunning! I going to buy different colour nylons/hose and maybe try making some wings using nylons with a print on such as cobwebs , I'm very inspired😀🍄
Cobweb wings would be sooo cooool!! I almost got colored wings but couldn’t find a cheap enough option. The 4 pack of the nylons were $5 and all the colored tights I saw online were $10 a pair 🥲 lmk if you find somewhere that’s cheap.
You used to be able to buy a product called glazing tint which, if my geriatric brain recalls correctly, was for stencil painting on walls. But I think the acrylic turned out lovely. I did a lot of cringing while watching you paint on that rug. Yikes! Reminds me of the time my husband used a miter box saw to cut molding on top of our coffee table! I had a thought for photography during the reveal portion - use a mirror so the video catches your face when your back is turned showing off the gorgeous wings.❤ Thanks for the video. I will give this a try one day soon, I'm sure!😊
Haha that rug has been through a lot. Surprisingly it hides a lot of stains. I’ve spilled paint on it before and with all the colors you can’t tell 😂 it helps having colorful rugs. I have them all over the house. Eventually I’ll invest in some of those machine washable rugs but for now my mini shampooer does a good job.
I love these! I did a double set forever ago the same way. I bought black nylons, and the colors really pop on those. I think yours came out much better. I had a hard time with making the wings symmetrical.
Ooo I’ll have to try black next time. I want to make some darker wings too, maybe some teal and green ones, moth inspired with moss so maybe I’ll use black for those.
@@DressMeUpScotty I can't wait to see them! My wings were supposed to be more kindof goth butterfly. It was a little weird and didn't quite work with the outfit, (I made the wings too colorful, the colors should have been more subdued) but the wings as a whole came out really neat.
The moment you held up the hangers I nodded in knowing ☠️ Love this project! I made a pair for my hs prom. 🦋🧚🏻♀️ They are long gone and I'm about due for a new pair 😈✨️
Ok, now I want to scrap my old and oversized cellophane wings and make cute little ones like this. Also, my 3yo son saw you frolicking and wanted you to fly. I think you had him convinced they were real, lol.
Thank you for this video, you have reminded me that very wings have been on my DIY To-Do List for about 5 years now and keep getting put off for other projects. Maybe time to change that. 😂
hello… i just made these with this video (yes you explicitly said this wasnt a tutorial but oh well 😜😜) and it turned out well!! so this video is tutorial worthy even if we both had no idea what we were doing the whole time HAHAH great video 🩷
And now I want to make fairy wings. *sigh* My list of must makes is too long already. 😢 Seriously though...the wings are too cute! You did a great job changing it up when the hangers didn't work out and the glue gun failed you. And I have an idea of what to do with the bucket full of craft wire I got from a friend. 😁
It’s a fun project so I recommend it! And yeah it was a rough process but worth it in the end. I definitely recommend skipping the hot glue veins and going straight for the glitter glue. I’m obsessed with how the glitter glue worked out!!
Adorable 🥰-love your wings, they turned out so pretty. & you answered my question, of always wondering if you could make wings from coat hangers & panty hose? 😂
Haha yess. I think the hangers are possible as long as you make them kinda small or graft 2 pieces together and cut off the curled bits. I know there are ways of straightening wire with a drill and a block of wood but when I watched a tutorial on how to do it my brain was like “this is too much work, I’ll macgyver something else” 🤣 then the spool of garden wire was bestowed on me lol
Looks great not that i know anything about cosplay but i wonder if you paint the green part the color of youre skin color so it looks like its part of you that would look awesome
Hey! I was wondering how you managed to secure the hose onto the wire? It’s the only part that isn’t really touched on in the video. I couldn’t get my hands on wire hangers and I also have a lot of floral wire that I made pretty thick by doubling and tripling up, but the hose weigh it down and it wont hold its shape! I have until tomorrow to finish the costume 😭😭 (so also if anyone in the comments has any ideas for how I can make this work without buying new materials…)
Fairy wings are like tattoos… you can’t ever stop with just one pair 😅 I might be getting the itch to make some more/replace the ones I lost in Houston. Sigh, I have sculpting wire, I don’t have my heat tools or other things but I’m getting ready to make a breast plate for cosplay so that means it’s a multi purpose tool right? Sigh. Scotty, you got me rebuilding my toolbox and buying more craft supplies in my head. But I only have 2 pairs of surviving wings now, and none of them did I make myself anymore. I’m going to blame you for the this desire, but I’m not upset it’s just an itch I need to scratch. 😅
You have to be careful what paint you use because none plastic or flexible paint will dry out the dedicated fibers and they will become very brittle and shorten the life of the wings.
I considered that actually as my first choice. But one pair of colored tights was more expensive than a 4 pack of nylons (and I used all 4 pairs in the end). I didn’t mind painting them. I put on a podcast and just enjoy the process, kinda therapeutic!
Tip for doubling up the floral wire next time: clamp one end of the wires in a vice grip or, like people who don't have a fully kitted out workshop, under something heavy like a sofa leg or stand mixer. Place the other ends in you drill like you would a drill bit and run the drill slowly. Nice, tight, uniform coiled wire.

I Love Your Wings! ❤
Those wings are super cute. And I love how you watered down the paint to keep them sheer. The corset is beautiful as well. Adding this to my list of things I want to make. Haha
Ty! I think if I had been able to use my airbrush it would have been even more sheer but I’ll def be making for wings so I’ll get to try then 🥰

Your fairy wings look great!
Thank you! 🥰
I'll definitely need to check out that tutorial! I've been desperately wanting to make some wings of my own and this just gives me the kick I've been needing.
Yes do it! So far it’s my favorite tutorial. I like colorful wings so it’s perfect!

Haha you’re watching like “whose gonna tell her?” 😂
ooooh I remember making butterflies like this as a kid! what a delightful craft. and your wings turned out so beautiful!
Ty! Glad you enjoyed! 🥰
nice job...loved the end result!!

I’ve heard you can stretch them out a little beforehand. I was impatient 😂 I’ll be trying next time to see if I can get some more give.
These are stunning!!! And they're so gorgeous with that ensemble. I love pink and green together.
Thank you! 🩷💚
Great idea. I might try mini ones for my miniature dioramas.
I do have a bunch of wire hangers around. So tempting, though I have no use for fairy wings~. But it would be so cute to slip into the back of a corset, which I also haven’t made. 😭 Anyway, so pretty~!
Ahhh!
Those look SO good!
The colors with the wing shape?? Yasss…
I love this video and I can’t wait for more! ☺️
Thank you!! I’m glad the video didn’t go as planned haha. Love the shape more than the original sketch hehe 🥰
I was the one who sent that dress back to you at 6:38 because I knew you loved it! I’m so glad it got to you safely!!

Possible hospitalization 😂 and giving the sketch pad back , hilarious . ❤
Tigger is very appropriate! I always like seeing people actually figure these things out!
Haha that sweatshirt is one that I live in 😂 it’s one of my favs.
OMG! You just made me LOL! Love the final product! Great job!
I have been wanting to know how do you make your own fairy rings
love your video but at the end (when you’re painting the wings like @19:00) the ambient background noises of the song kept making me thing my cats were getting into things
They look amazing!! Great job!
Thank you! 🥰
Well done! I’m a lazy b so I always end up buying wings but maybe I’ll give it a try this autumn if the leaves inspire me. Cute corset!
The wings I got from the fair are so nice I definitely think it’s worth buying then if you can find them. Next time I see her I’ll be getting another pair for sure!
@@DressMeUpScotty I’d like some monarch wings and to add some of those monarchs on wire to my woodland fairy crown.
They’re gorgeous!! Just found you & im obsessed! Gonna binge your videos & tiktoks 💚
Oh wow I was getting some unexpected ASMR tingles during 15:30 - 16:00 lol 😆
😆 I must have left the sound of the Timelapse on haha.
@@DressMeUpScotty No complaints here!
They are stunning! I'm in love with glittery things, I need a pair 🥺
Ty!! 🩷

What if you would layer all the pieces of wire together and wrap them before bending them to to shape? Just a thought!
It looks so good!

You described me exactly, so I hit the subscribe button lol
Looks great not that i know anything about cosplay but i wonder if you paint the green part the color of youre skin color so it looks like its part of you that would look awesome
I was considering painting the top part of the felt pink to match the wings but I just ran out of time. I’ll probably do that soon.
Would love to see any updates.
These turned out amazing! I just recently found your channel, and I love what you do!! They are so aesthetic!!
Thank you!! 🥰
Dude. Your playing legend of Zelda fairy fountain song in the background. Same, girl! Same!
You are correct, those are veins…they pump the wings full of fluid when they hatch out to make them fill out. You are adorable!
Interesting! Thanks for sharing 🥰

fire fairy spoke to i in 2006 . um i know disaprove... but the fairy wasn't burning just ment angry i sure
I am a hoarder goblin… i got baskets full of scraps and old clothes and projects and it seems like its impossible to complete them
I’m the trash man with the goodwill bag is hilarious
Haha I’m glad you appreciated that. I’ve been having fun with that goodwill png and adding it to my edits 😆

What should i do if i want to make these wings but i dont have a corset? Can i just put it into the back of my dress?
If your dress is sturdy enough yes. I’ve also tucked it behind my bra band for extra support when I wasn’t wearing a corset. It worked!
🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻🦋🦋🦋❤️✨
Ohhhhh magnifique bravo.... avez-vous fait un gabarit du dessin des ailes svp ? cordialement
hey what art programm do you use on that tablet just curious
I use Procreate 😁
yeah so 20th second and I was sold I love you I will stay here hi
I know I am late to the party but you are using tin snips and not pliers. That can cause weak marks in your wires.
You had me at hoarding goblin. That is what I am indeed.
I just subbed
You have to be careful what paint you use because none plastic or flexible paint will dry out the dedicated fibers and they will become very brittle and shorten the life of the wings.
Can we fly
Next time buy colored nylons. It will save you tons in time and paint. ❤
I considered that actually as my first choice. But one pair of colored tights was more expensive than a 4 pack of nylons (and I used all 4 pairs in the end). I didn’t mind painting them. I put on a podcast and just enjoy the process, kinda therapeutic!
Im new and I am obsessed alr! Ily and btw ill introduce myself,Im Al/Alana and I would like to cosplay as a cottage fairy! ILY
Finding this one hour after it was posted AND in the middle of a wings DIY research spiral 🤌🤌🤌🤌
The timing! 😱
Thank you, gonna try and rush some wings tonight, but with exposed wire, really like the look of wire/ jewleryish wings.
