Bat Wings - Vampire Queen Costume Tutorial For Halloween

I made these vampire bat wings and Vlad the Impaler accessories for the Vampire Ball in Heidelberg, Germany.





Here are the steps for making the vampire bat wings:

1. The Idea:


2. Wire hangers:


3. Masking tape for "the bones" of the wings:


4. Mod Podge and tissue paper to create the "membrane":



5. Once it dries (I used about 5 layers of Mod Podge), cut the bottom of the wings into the shape you want and wash off the tissue paper.



7. Paint the bones:




8. Paint the wings black:




9. Use a glue gun (and sew) to attach straps for wearing:


10. Finished. This is what the back looks like:
