DIY PAPER: PAPER WINGS
DIY PAPER: PAPER WINGS – Costume
Happy Friday! We’re making paper costumes for Mardi Gras and I wanted to share with you!
Our children go to a French school where they celebrate, “Carnival.” (Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday) This year, our kids
wanted to wear animal costumes but, I didn’t have time to get out my sewing machine. I started thinking about both
my love craft paper and for a way for the kids to personalize a costume themselves. These wings are pure craft-paper
and, once constructed, our daughter had so much fun coloring them. I hope you will, too! I think we’ll hang them up,
as art work, on her bedroom wall once complete. (Great for rainy
days,parties and Halloween, too)

the cutting and assembly instructions below.

PAPER WINGS HOW TO:
See the above photos and illustrations for cutting and assembly instructions.Once the wings
are complete:
1) Cut two tubes of wrist sized, paper.
2) Tape these, with paper tape,* to the interior, top of
the wings
3) Using the same paper tape, tape the wings together in the middle.I used double layers of tape to
adhere these two sides.
(* I prefer matching paper tape but, any strong masking tape will work.)
