Here we can see that we took the lengths of fishtape that we cut and soldered them to the large loops we picked up. The wings are then secured to a piece of leather with holes punched for a basic light weight strap as well as the mounting for the wings.

The upper part of the mount we added a simple rivet to hold some light springs we got from the home improvement store. These help them not to sag as well as give them some lively bounce making them more animated for the person wearing it.

With the wing shapes done we start to wrap the el wire. This is a very easy process of just using zip ties to hold it on. For effect we put one color on the inside of the outer wing, and one color on the outside of the inner wing frame. This allows for better color blending.

Here is a completed inner wing assembly. You can see that we used a simple overlap and tape technique to loop the fishtape. This can be done because it will be suspended inside the wing with line. Wireing into elwire can be tricky... here is a link to a how to from the vendor we got ours from.
