Since I have 2 kids and have to deal with their costumes (and my 12 yr old wants to be a Steampumk gentleman thanks to you!), I usually just wear a fleece butterfly cape but maybe I'll be daring and do some wings this year!<br /><br />Might I suggest that you glue the large inner square with the staples/straps to the inside of the wings?? That way you can glue the straps in a little tighter (sandwiched between the wings and the square) and there won't be any staple ends to poke you or catch on your clothes (I'm crazy sensitive to getting poked with pins/staples!)rubelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052558109295824981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-60276295854191624922012-10-26T15:13:17.829-04:002012-10-26T15:13:17.829-04:00I love how simple this is, yet effective.

I wouldn't have thought 2-3 sheets would give you that much wingspan.<br />I made a charizard costume for my oldest son about 10 years ago, but I used felt. They were kind of droopy. I wish they'd had foam sheets back then.<br /><br />My son was just bragging in the grocery store last week: "Mom made TWO SETS of wings for ME." :) Every now and then, they appreciate the work that goes into things (the other set of wings was a Buzz Lightyear costume, also out of felt, if anyone's interested).
