This is my first ever tutorial and I hope it gets the point across.

I personally found fabric wings far to hard to make and mine always ended up saggy so I found some stuff I had lying around and experimented. Lo and behold it worked. I hope it helps people and if there are any other questions feel free to ask!

In the end the wings are lightweight, plasticy and have a veiny effect

Also it's giant so be prepared!! Turns out I enjoy making tutorials so if you have any requests please let me know!

Wow, this is a very helpful tutorial. I look for one like this :D
Just one question: How do you attach those wings to a cosplay? Like a bag pack?

You can do that. I personally didn't want any straps showing so I used a re-enforced piece of cardboard that I could slide under my bra band. That way it stood up and my back helped keep it straight and upright.

What if you want the wings to be smooth? Can you skip the step of crumpling the tissue paper and just lay it flat? I was actually going to make blades protruding from the arms using this tutorial, but they are covered in armor and they need to be smooth. Also, what kind of paint did you use? I keep acrylic around but I feel like it would be too heavy.

You would have to be really really careful and possibly use a thicker material since tissue paper is going to crease and bump really easily. I've always used acrylic but either iridescents or diluted a bit with water to get rid of heaviness
