How to make folding wings for cosplay: Part I

DISCLAIMER: You could get hurt doing this. I have the scars to prove it.

This is how I made my folding, feathered wings for my Van Fanel cosplay. This tutorial is broken into several parts.

If you have questions, comment and I'll try to reply ASAP.

@666BriarRose Thanks!

Could I commission you to make 2 sets of these? One white, and one black. I don't have any time on my hands, my college classes are starting, and so is my new job. Busy, busy....so could you let me know? Name a price, please and thank you~

@Janechickie It would depend on how large you want them to be and what shipping would cost. I would guess that each pair would cost about $200. The materials cost almost that much alone.

Is There Any Chance That You Can Make The Wings, Like, Instead Of Them Being Open, Can You Make Them Closed, Like So They're Behind Your Back Folded, Not Open, Like In Your Picture?

[tusense]

@Sonikku1243 Yes, you could make them so they are always completely folded. All you would need to do is make the frame folded.

do you have any pictures or videos of them actually folded? I see they fold in theory before they become wings, but seeing as the join you're using to fold them ends up behind your head, how do you actually fold them while wearing them? Is the folding aspect for storage purposes?

good video, but btw, the "pliers" at 4:40 are actually called wire cutters, just for future reference
