The size in the video is gratuitous, but a pair of small wings works really really well for all kinds of posturing and effects (I did a smaller pair for a bird costume.)
@dragonqueen123321 Yes! I got an e-mail from a guy who did that for an out door festival. By using black wire it makes the pull rings and wires almost invisible.
Thumbs Up for PARROT!
I love it “how strong?” *punches* XD
@davy1678 went from a stupid comment to an even stupider family guy referance.
I’ve been using your epic design for the past 3 years for the best dragon costume in my neighborhood!
0:36 DRAGON ABUSE!!!!!
Those really are just great, though do they support themselves? It looks like you have to hold them the whole time.
Also, do you make and sell?
@3:36 haha
She sounds like Jodie Foster…

I can finally be a gargoyle for halloween JOY
\(^.^)/
this is totaly confuesing
ye yah
If I wanted to get these wings as close to my back as possible what would the measurements for the notch be? Also, do you know if it is possible to get the wings to open to the side or do they do that on their own?
XD DUCT TAPE!, to avoid them coming loose over time….
@davy1678 stfu stop trying to get thumbs from posting random things from family guy
could you make one for moving angel wings?
how long do you make this?
will it make u fly??
Can you please give me the dimensions & proper names of all the supplies? My father (who is an engineer) was baffled by how vague everything was, especially with the eyelets & screws. I ended up getting the PVC pipe at a hardware store, & some screws that may be the right size, but I’d just like to double-check everything.
@Roketto Baffle him back: One size does not fit all because people are not manufactured. If we gave you the lengths that worked on Ben and you were smaller they would not fit, they would drag on the ground and you would be unable to make them move. If you were larger they might look stupid on you–even the pipe diameter can be variable. So, this video is not a blueprint, but a concept. Wearable props require being totally customized to the wearer. Check the reference PDF for eyelet placement.
@gryphern
Ah, thank you. I didn’t mean to sound rude, but my Dad was just kind of frustrated that nothing was concrete. I said pretty much what you explained; that one size doesn’t fit all, so I guess I need to just go eye everything as far as what length of screws, etc. I’m pretty small, btw, so mine probably be VERY large in proportion to my body.
