Bat Wings for Halloween

[EmilyInOrbit]

This weekend I made some bat wings to wear for Halloween. They are made of black stockings stretched over a frame made from duct-taped coat hangers. This was super quick to do (took me one evening) and I love the results! Would be great for anyone looking for a last-minute costume.







I might make some ears or something as well, but I'm not sure. I like sort of minimalist costumes recently.

They look really awesome. I don't think you need ears at all, they look so great.

Very cool Wings. I like the whole ensemble, ears aren't needed.

Those look great! Maybe I'll think about that for future Halloweens...

really cute and sexy!  could you show us some more detailed pictures, maybe from closer up.  i am really curious as how you got the frame to stick together so well

[EmilyInOrbit]

Thanks everyone! I have some pictures of the process which I can post later. Mixi, the answer to your question is duct tape... lots of duct tape.

I LOVE THEM! They're wonderful! Wrapping the wire in duct tape is a genius idea. Could I ask for a closer-up shot of the wing join, or maybe how you did it? I've done a couple wire-and-pantyhose wings in the past, and I always have the most difficult time bringing the wings together...

I agree with you on the minimalist thing. They look great.

The wings are awesome and I agree with everyone else you don't need the ears, great as is.
