How to make a wings costume
Wings Pattern
At the first stage, we create a pattern of the required size.
Preparation of materials
To manufacture a cosplay wings costume, you will need 3mm polyethylene foam and 2mm PET.
We cut out the big wings according to the shape
We unroll a 2.5-meter strip of polyethylene foam into 8 layers. Next, we put one pre-prepared plywood shape on top, another one below, and clamp them with bolts. This is repeated for all the shapes. The placement of the forms should be parallel to the lines on the polyethylene foam.
After that, the wings need to be cut out of the polyethylene foam following the contour with a tool with a heated wire.
Preparation of LEDs
First, the connectors on the original LED strips are resoldered to 40-pin ones. Then it is necessary to make power leads.
Then a common wire is soldered according to the scheme.
Attaching LEDs to the wings
Glue the LEDs onto the largest layer of wings following the provided scheme.
Creating a backpack for fixing wings on the back
We cut out 2mm and 1mm PET for the backpack according to the provided pattern.
We assemble the straps: from 4 m of tape, we get 2 loops and 1 semi-circle. And with rivets, a whole backpack for wings is assembled.
The final stage in creating a wings costume is assembly.
Using glue, the 7 lower layers of wings are first glued together. Then a frame made of PET is inserted. And the remaining 4 layers of polyethylene foam are glued on top.
The wings are glued from the largest wing to the smallest on both sides, one of the sides has a frame to which loops for fingers are attached. Glue is spread over the surface of the wing to glue them together, but they should create a feather-like appearance. That is, the edges are not glued. After the wings are glued, they need to be placed on a flat surface and pressed down with something heavy. Pressing is needed for the best glue adhesion. The glue needs to dry for about 12 hours. Usually, we leave it overnight. Then the fingers are attached.
We prepare loops for fingers. The 4 upper layers of wings are cut through, and PET is placed under the top layer. Loops are threaded into the holes in the PET that is in the backpack frame, and into the PET that is under the top layer. Then the loops are fastened with a stapler and glue.
