I am using a long sleeved brown shirt for the wings. cut it off under the first button and leaving the sleeves and collar (think SHRUG). Then take the piece of the shirt body just cut off and cut in half and apply to each sleeve from cuff to armpit (fabric glue) for wings. !!!! I then bought $2 bag of feathers and a boa and applied to the collar and cuffs and edges of the "new" wings. make sense? thanks for the great tips and makeup! thundercloudcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912382600101114556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053477591446603130.post-5792840620990937332012-10-29T21:10:12.633-07:002012-10-29T21:10:12.633-07:00They may be strange measurements but I just eyebal...They may be strange measurements but I just eyeballed and drew my own feather template on cardstock and cut it out.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682528639139731284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053477591446603130.post-75880632383657462802012-10-29T21:09:24.135-07:002012-10-29T21:09:24.135-07:00My feathers were 2 3/4 inches at the widest point ...My feathers were 2 3/4 inches at the widest point and 3 3/4 inches long.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682528639139731284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053477591446603130.post-72327745623665071132012-10-23T10:47:34.701-07:002012-10-23T10:47:34.701-07:00and how large were your feathers?and how large were your feathers?Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455637258395979244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053477591446603130.post-46052107613926137572012-10-04T12:48:34.337-07:002012-10-04T12:48:34.337-07:00Good question Nicole.

It's possible that I started with a 1/3 yard of each. <br /><br />I would say that if you choose 4 fabrics you like and start with 1/4 yard of each you should be fine. And I'm sure yours will turn out lovely. It really is an easy costume to make, so have fun with it! :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682528639139731284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053477591446603130.post-87494513750941929442012-10-01T18:14:39.013-07:002012-10-01T18:14:39.013-07:00i love this, i was wondering if you could tell me ...i love this, i was wondering if you could tell me how much fabric you used, i would love to try to recreate it! it wont look nearly as good as yours though!nicolehttps://www.facebook.com/nicole.brunner.921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1053477591446603130.post-46129930966379082642011-10-24T20:02:53.850-07:002011-10-24T20:02:53.850-07:00Amazing and sooooo cute!
