I used all 20 feathers to make them, so shockingly there's about ten feather's worth of feathers in each wing? I really underestimated how many I needed, I think I could have used twice as many as I did.
So the easiest way I could think to attach them was to drill holes in the back of the body and just stick the wings on there. Keep in mind that I made the wings with this plan in mind, so the base wire had two prongs of wire sticking out. If I wanted to get fancy about it I would have bought some magnets, but I wasn't into it.
So I took the torso apart so that I was just working with the back plate. The reason that I went with two holes for each wing is because if I did one, the wings would have a tendency to droop down. With two holes it will keep them pointing straight out!
Holes drilled! They're not 100% perfect, but they're going to be covered in feathers in a minute!
Yeah wings!
When choosing where to drill I was lucky that there wasn't any obstructions inside of the torso to block where I wanted to put the wires through.
Put it back together!
Pretty okay I think! And since they're made out of wire and hot glue I'll be able to pose them pretty well too.
