Those are beautiful and great job for a first try. I wish I had the craftiness to try.

Me too ;D

Ugh, that fantasy film is so expensive
I don't think I can afford to try for a little while.

Gorgeous tho! Looks like fun, too!

This was the one I got:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260216891880

5 feet of film, you get to pick 5 colors. Each foot will do 4-5 pairs of LPS sized wings... so figure 25 pairs of wings for about $5, not too bad
She shipped super fast too.

And for wire, I got:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190126490380&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=009

Less than $4 with shipping, 10 different colors of wire, a yard of each color.

So its not too expensive on a per-pair basis... maybe you could make some extra pairs and sell them on ebay to make back the money

Wow! That isn't too bad! Thanks.. I didn't see that one, somehow!

I know it's worth it, per pet basis... it's the upfront investment that bugs me at the moment, lol. Well, that and the uncertainty of whether I'd actually make back the money later or not, heh..

Thanks, though! When I do try it, I'm def. gonna use that seller! That's way more economical than the ones I'd seen so far!

GREAT deal, thanks! I saw where for about $3 more, you can get 5 more colors, which isn't a bad deal, either!

Thanks for sharing!

Its not fair that that person with the film wont ship to Canada. I had to get mine at a higher cost.

Not sure what kind of wings you want, but if you like fairy wings you can make them yourself. I made some fairy wings today! They aren't great but it was my first try. They aren't too hard to make but they look impressive, and the supplies are fairly cheap.



I couldn't get a good photo because they are super-sparkly and have like an oil slick/chameleon coloration to them.

I'm still trying to find something clear to seal them hard with though, I'll probably try clear polyurethane or something. I want them to be hard like plastic

People also sell these already made on ebay if you don't feel like making them.

If you are looking for plastic wings I think you can also cannibalize other toys, like a dollarstore toy and chop the wings off and glue them on. Or you can make them out of a molding compound...

Those are very nice.
