EDIT 05/19/2014: Made sure to add that 12 gauge wire is equivalent to hanger wire, as the latter is becoming harder to find in some areas.
EDIT 05/16/2017: Hot tip from TatianaDragonWhisper , if you find dog collars at your local dollar store you can harvest parachute buckles & D-rings from them for cheap!

why felt? is that included in fabric, or extra? thnx

Is what I'm using to feather the wing-cover, since you can cut it into small pieces without it fraying, but I've seen others use faux fur, or still doubling/painting two layers of fabric together for strength and THEN cutting the tiny arm-cover feathers - will compile a list of dif materials/results others have come up with one of these days...
Also, is in addition to fabric.

question....why paint? is it a substitute for glue, or does it work better? just wondering. is it the thickness or weight needed, or is it just what you had on hand? thanks

Well, while I haven't officially compared the cost of a gallon of glue to a gallon of paint, yes it was originally what I had in hand - white gesso, to be precise, but Walmart paint worked just as well for cheaper.
I know another wing maker who uses silk for fabric, straws for the shafts, and a brand of wallpaper glue to hold it together, which if it dries clear would be awesome!

Thanks for this! I'll be hopefully starting on my own pair shortly!
And just to make sure I'm reading this right but it calls for 11-12 yards of fabric? That kinda seems like a lot haha

Yes, yes it is.
But really, the amount I measured was only 36 inches wide – if the fabric that you are buying is doubled over (a.k.a. closer to 45 - 60 inches long or wide) then you can buy half of this amount.
