Hi everyone,  I'm on the hunt for small wings for a bear and I'm not having much luck locating any.  (I may just have to get creative and make my own I guess).

I would prefer feather wings but I'm open to anything, I'm looking for something that is maybe 3" wide from wing to wing. 

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

big hugs

Shane

Hi Shane,

The last bear I needed wings for I made them. I bought a big bag of feathers at one of the craft stores and kept going through the bag until I found exactly the size I wanted. I think I used 3 or 4 different sizes on each side of the wing. I played with the feathers until I got exactly the shape I was going for. I then used some white wire and wrapped it around the center in a criss cross manner. To hide the wire I used a ribbon to attach to the bear.

I did find two websites that sell feather wings. The first one is BJ Craft Supply but they are 3 1/2" wide. http://www.bjcraftsupplies.com/dolls/angelwings3.asp The second one is Sunshine Crafts
Here is another one but they are wider: http://www.sunshinecrafts.com/search.ph … 2&Type=ALL

I hope that helped. If you want to try making them and need any additional help, just PM or email me.

Hugs,

Shane: I made a bear many years ago with feather wings. I wanted the scale right so I found an ostrich feather boa in the craft store. It made a delightful feathery wings. I sewed the shape of a wing from the mohair. I cut strips of the feather boa to be attached to the top. You could cover the entire wing, but I only needed to do the top and it looked wonderful.

There are also instructions for making feather wings in Teddy Bears with a Past on page 104.

Thanks Nancy I even have that book sheesh  why didn't I think of looking there, but you know sometimes there is so much information everywhere you don't know where to look first or maybe I was just being lazy and didn't want to take the time to look  :crackup: . 

Thanks as well Jeremy I never thought of Sassybears either, man I must of had a major brain fart  not thinking of them either.

Big hugs and thanks again

Hi there guys1 I have been rumaging through my mountains of stuff and I have a small pair of white feather angel wings about the size you are looking for. They are about 3" from wing end to wing end. You are most welcome to them. I would not want a dime for them as they are far to small for my bears. I believe we ordered them from a bear place in Australia. Just let me know and they are yours!
