Process
Step 1. Draw and cut
Draw the outline of the wings on the cardboard. First draw a part, it can be the one on the left side and do the same with the one on the right. Both must be together. Finally, cut out the figure with the help of a scalpel or scissors.
Step 2. Paste
Take the glue and apply it to the entire figure. Next, stick a sheet of tissue paper over the wings, trying to make it as smooth as possible. If necessary, fold the edges to the inside of the wings to avoid excess paper. You must paste the paper on both sides of the figure.
Step 3. Open
Cut a hole in the left and right sides of the wings, near the center, and pass the paper tape or ribbon through them to form the handles from which you will hang the wings from the body.
Step 4. Fill
It’s time to fill in the outline of the wings with feathers. For this action, cut strips of the same tissue paper (about 5 cm wide) and fold them in half. Make pleats in these strips like an accordion and cut their ends in a rounded shape. Apply glue again on both sides of the wings and start gluing the strips of paper first from the bottom up until you reach the middle of the width of the wings, unfolding the strips so that they cover both sides. When you have to fill the top half, do it by gluing from top to bottom. Ready, you can load your wings and fly away, it’s that easy!
