Description
I've been asked many times how we made our kamael wings. I really didn't plan to write a tutorial EVER, but after 50th questions I gave up.That’s not the only or best way to make wings, but there were demands, so I comply
Wings made by Desler (ErikDesler ) and me (ElenaLeetah ).
Tutorial made by me
РУССКАЯ ВЕРСИЯ - ЗДЕСЬ
Those are our kamaels, thanks to those costumes this tutorial was created:

Hi! Sorry to throw yet another question into the mix, but I scrolled through all the comments and couldn't quite find the answer- how do you put all the layers together? Do you put some cloth between each bit of foam that needed gluing together?
Sorry if the answer is obvious or it's a dumb question!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I believe I did wrote it in the tutorial o_O The layers glued on the base fabric layer, one above the other. On the both sides.
No problem

Thank you!
I don't know 'bout the replacment material
You may found the polyetheline foam by several trademarks, we in Russia generally see it under trademark "Izolon"

btw, politeness is love.

Don't have an idea what are you talking about, but you mast be right

Sorry was on my kindle when typing that XD I'm to make Princess Luna from MLP for an upcoming con but never found the right wing tutorial but yours was really perfect. As I was rather terrified of hitting someone with big huge open wings these down soft ones look really ideal

Oh, now I get the idea
Yep, those tipe of wings willl suit Celistia and yep, they are quite safe to use in the crowd.

GOING TO ATTEMPT MAKING THESE!
on top of making a set of horns, a corset with dress, joint armor pieces, boot spats, and an arm crossbow in 3-4 weeks
A bit too ambitious? (considering I'm in college full-time and work 20 hours a week)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, it's a normal occurrence to me
Good luck, though! I've mentioned we made those wings in 12 hours, right? I believe now that we tested all our ideas and made all possible mistakes, we'd make in half this time at least, probably faster, if we could focus properly.

Thank you, that makes me feel better! And thank you for the tutorial. I showed a friend and they looked at me like I was crazy for even thinking about it.. Haha

This is so helpful, and also easy to understand (As the previous comment stated, it's also great for drawing when understanding the layers) I'll definitely be able to use this in the future!

Came across your tutorial a couple weeks ago and since I'm making 5ft wings this is going to help out a lot. This tutorial is going to help out a lot and very self-explanatory. I am actually excited to finally start work on them

Not only is this a great tutorial on how to make the cosplay wings, it's also a great reference for how to create the feathered layers of wings in art as well. Thank you for making a tutorial of this!

Would you suggest lows or home depo? And about how much did it cost you to do this? As for the harness, I couldn't really see who it was to look at for that..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
These wings look really beautiful. Any suggestions where I can find Polyetheline(Isolon) foam to purchase? I sort of live in the middle of nowhere so its hard to find craft like shops.

www.homedepot.com/p/Roberts-48…
Home Depot has it for $0.10 per square foot

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem! Online you can get it by the roll for $10 but I think if you go into the store they will cut some off for you.. Just depends! I'm going today to pick up mine!

It's not from craft shop, it's from general DYI store. It HAS to be even in the middle of nowhere

im guessing it would be fairly easy to damage the feathers right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wrong. We haven't managed to damage them during numerous sword-fights, transportation to the other city and photoshoots on the rocks in the wilderness.
Well, they are losing paint rapidly, but that's all.
