HUGE feathers for costumes

[GermanKennhuhn]

It looks like you've got joints, so the wings can actually open and close? Neat idea!

If the background bothers you, you could toss a sheet or blanket over it next time you take a picture.

Yeah, that was the thought! Sadly I can’t take credit for the original idea. I’ve seen ideas like that online. Thank you though.

That’s a great idea. Once they’re all finished I’ll most likely do that.

Hello everyone,
I love making intricate costumes for Halloween, and this year I’m contemplating a winged costume. I’m hoping to do large articulated wings, but I have no idea where I would find large enough feathers. They’d probably need to be 2+ ft long. Does anyone have ideas on how I could make/buy these? I’m thinking this size. View attachment 3231964

Maybe you can use fake peacock feathers, if you're okay with their coloring? Although you would probably need a lot, and I'm not sure if they'd be large enough.

I was going for a black/grey look, so probably not. Thank you for the input though!

Could you use cardstock or poster board and cut them out?

That could work! I’ll have to consider it.
