Making the "Ever After" Wings!
🕑 Added 2025-03-11 16:01:16 +0000 UTCAaaand learning that making fairy wings? Not for me. LOL.
I wanted to make Danielle's wings for my convention last weekend, so I grabbed the wire, fabric, and determination and GOT. TO. WORK.
Boy oh boy, was this time consuming. ENJOY!

Does anyone know what that beautiful song was during the reveal please? <3

I can believe-th that I've been peeping at you squatting on your floor for almost a decade. Where has-eth the time gone.

When I want a thicker thread to sew up something hearty or use as a wrap, instead of embroidery thread, use crochet thread! Nice continuous length, multiple color options, several thicknesses but it's not made to split into smaller threads like embroidery floss.

Not sure where the best place to say this is- but I would love a video of you discussing your favorite youtubers/artists ect. I just found Ruth Speer because of your insta post!

I've made many a pair of wire hanger wings in my day, and they ALWAYS suck to make, but that feeling of "I'm a fairy princess" is worth it! Thank you for a beautiful break from doom scrolling. 🥰
Bri Kay
I hope she feels better soon, the doom scrolling intro is real and I'm even in CANADA let alone the US. 🥺 Thank you for still taking the time to give us a bright spot amidst... all this!

I'm in the planning stage of making some wings later this year, so this video came at a perfect time! Now I need to rewatch the dress making video x
Samantha E.
I have to rewatch Rachel making the dress now lol
Dina
Oh hurrah...Rachel will make it all better, if but a moment. Thanks for the distraction 😊

I don't think solder works well with twisting/bending movements !?

Wishing Laura good luck as well !

Knitting comedian (yes, that is a thing) Stephanie Pearl McFee talks about the projects you do because you enjoy the process, and projects that you may hate making, but you really want the finished product. These wings are the latter. For all the projects in between, I like the term "grumpy fun." Just because you are making something for "entertainment" doesn't mean you don't curse your way through doing it.

This is all so beautiful! Great job!
Victoria
You're so amazing Rachel, this made my entire week!!!
Katie
Absolutely epic!!
Jenny Rose
Beautiful 💖

Did you throw an apple at a prince's head or punch your stepsister in the face? I'm pretty sure those are important cosplay components.

Someone wanna tell me what those armour shoes are called, cause my Google search failed me

Great job Rachel. You are always so inspiring and I appreciate how you call out the tedious BS of your creations as well.
Maisy Kane
Oh, Rachel bought something new and wants to weather it? What a surprise. Truly a shocking turn of events. 😂 I say, of course, with all the love.
Shayna Adams
Wow! Everything came out so pretty 🤩. I admire your hard work and dedication to all of your projects. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine and whimsy! 💖
Dottie Elizabeth Vanderbilt
Ahhhhh you look so pretty! I still love the dress so much and the wings look great even though you hated making them 🥹 🖤
Katie Meeks
Ain't that just the way though...lol

Oh man wrestling with wire... I used 14 gauge fencing wire for my wings and boy will that stuff fight you. Thank you for sharing your own wire struggles!
Katie
Your generosity in giving us whimsy even in the hard times is most appreciated. Thank yoooou! "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light." (Dumbleeedore). And you are one of the lights, Rachel!
Laura Guebert
Damn, legitimately in the same boat professionally. It's a nightmare out there, but a new Rachel Maksy video keeps the sads away for a bit.
Melanie Welch
Ah I cannot tell you how much I needed this video today Rachel 🥹 I lost my job last week and the stress is off the frickin chart let’s say 😅 Mental health is the worst man, truly! So thank you for giving us this wholesome content and sharing, very grateful for these 20ish mins of watching you and the most handsome man Frodo xx 😘 🫶

Well, thanks for interrupting my doom scrolling! These are hard times, sending virtual hugs and actual love 😘
Amanda C
oh man, I would've immediately gone to hot glue to cover the sharp bits. you went the hard mode route but wow, they really did turn out beautifully!! well done!!
Anastasia
The process was stressful, but the resulting wings look SO good!!!
Katherine Powell
Sad that I missed this one! We came on Saturday. Stunning.
Margaret MacLellan
Oh, and embroidery thread is meant to be divided - it comes with 6 strands, but you normally embroider with 2 or 3 strands. (I just learned this recently myself! )
Margaret MacLellan
Rachel, you ARE a "Pwetty, pretty, Princess!" LOL 😅 This came out great !
StrawberryMad
Turned out great! I have recently learned how to solder and I been using it on more wire projects lately. Even on jewelry sometimes. I think it could of worked for these but I'm not really sure how it holds up on a big object like this.
Rachel Maksy
Hahaha sometimes we learn very quickly what we never want to make again 🤣🤣🤣
Katie Meeks
Even though you didn't have a good time making the wings, we really appreciate it! Your videos are a source of comfort for me. <3
