How I Make my Flutterby wings....

by Debbie Hendrickson
This is how I make my Flutterby wings. I don't claim this to be the only method, or the best method. It's just my way of doing it. :)
Gathering my supplies. I use wax paper to protect the work surface, need the fabric, four fabric-covered floral wires, fabric paint which dries clear, scissors and wire cutters. Not seen here, various colors acrylic paint, brush, water, an old towel, glue and an Exact-o knife.
Using wire cutters I cut about 1/4-1/3 off two wires for the smaller wings.
Twist the ends of the wires together, and shape into the desired wing shape.
Run a thin line of paint along one side of the wing shapes. My paint is getting old and a bit gloppy. Fresh paint will flow smoothly.
Carefully lay the wing wire, paint side down, on the fabric and allow to dry completely. If necessary place another sheet of wax paper on top and lay something on top to keep the wings flat and the wire on the fabric.
Once the paint is completely dry cut around the outer edge of the wire.
Using the acrylic paint I thin it a bit with water, and paint the fabric-covered wire. The smaller wing on the left has started with an orange paint to match the wing and disguise it. The larger wing on the right, and the smaller wing on the bottom were painted with black paint on the wire to match the veining in the wing.
In painting the veining on the wing I water down the acrylic paint and paint with the wing on an old towel. That way the water soaks through the wing and the towel absorbs the extra. I blot frequently with a paper towel to keep the fabric sheer (don't want the paint clogging up the fabric). It might take a couple of coats of this watered down paint to acheive the color you want. Make your veining in any design you wish. If desired you can also glue little rhinestones on the wing, or use a fabric glitter to accent.
(Normally at this point I finish the doll, reroot, repaint and dress before inserting the wings, to prevent them from getting bent and possibly pulled apart during the other procedures.)
Using a sharp Exact-o knife I twist the blade against her back until it digs in and creates a small hole to insert the wires into. Make the hole just big enough for two wings (one large one small) making sure you have the wires on the wings always facing the same direction, preferable to the back where you won't see them from a normal perspective.
Insert your two wings, and place the tip of a glue bottle against the holes and wires. Squeeze a small amount of glue into the hole to help secure the wires. My prefered glue for this is Beacon Fabri-tac. Allow glue to dry completely.

Her Flutterbies and Fairydust page no longer exists...... I'm hoping she'll send me some of her doll pictures - she made GORGEOUS dolls!
