  Step 1

  These are made of beer cans. My friend has loads of these.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut off the top and bottom of the cans and make two equal sized pieces.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold the pieces Corner to corner as best as you can.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut out the feather shape in half style so the feather is equal on both sides.

• 

  Step 5

  Snip off the bottom of the feather shape to make a flat side at the bottom.

• 

  Step 6

  At this step it should look like this.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut slightly vertical lines to give the feather texture. Raggety is just fine, they can look a tad tattered. Always cut to a pinky fingers width from the center fold.

• 

  Step 8

  The feather should now look like this.

• 

  Step 9

  Cut the other side the same way.

• 

  Step 10

  It takes some time, that's for sure.

• 

  Step 11

  Cut your cardboard (2 pieces) to equal basic wing size. How big or small is up to you.

• 

  Step 12

  Hot glue feathers onto the cardboard, layering from the bottom up. Wear your gloves even for this step!

• 

  Step 13

  I made mine kinda small because of my lack of patience.

• 

  Step 14

  But they turned out amazing anyway.

This is way cool! But, do you think there is a way to cover them or something? Because I was going to make this but lots of kids come to our house whether it's relatives or cousins or anything. Do you think there is a way to make the sharp edges blunt?

I really don't know how that could be done. You might have to brainstorm on that a bit.
