Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat

This is a fun, inexpensive thing to do, and it will make your cat the coolest in the neighbourhood!

Steps

 * 1) Fold some of the wire in two, so that you get an about 20 cm long part. Spin the wire around this, until you have your desired thickness (5-6 times of spinning should do the trick).[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Repeat for the second wing.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Bend the wings into your desired shape. Make sure they are bent equally.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Cut the fabric in to two similar pieces per wing. Put one at a time around the wire, and sew it to the wire. Really close, and around the wire![[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5) Cut the fabric pointy and unevenly.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 5.jpg|center]]
 * 6)  Repeat with the other wing![[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 6.jpg|center]]
 * 7)  Now you should have two cool wings. The time has come to assemble them together.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 7.jpg|center]]
 * 8)  Make a rectangular support of the wire. Spin around an about 25 cm long part, 5-6 times. Then bend into shape.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 8.jpg|center]]
 * 9)  Fasten the wings to this support with even more wire, so they are well fastened, and point upwards. Make sure that there are as few sharp parts as possible![[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 9.jpg|center]]
 * 10)  Sew a part of thicker fabric around the support, both under and over. You can use a lonely sock for this, just cram the hole in the sock around the wings and sew it together, then sew so that the fabric goes tight around the support. Not very pretty, but easy.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 10.jpg|center]]
 * 11)  Take the elastic band and measure it directly on your cat. You need three bits: two long ones for around your cats shoulders and feet, and a short part to keep the long ones together on the chest of your cat.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 11.jpg|center]]
 * 12)  Sew the long rubber bands to the wing support, and the short one onto these.[[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 12.jpg|center]]
 * 13)  To get this on your cat, slip the small hole over its head, and put its feet in each of the larger holes. And be gentle with your cat, because chances are high it might not like this. Voilá! You've got a cool and probably moody cat for Halloween![[Image:Make Halloween Wings for Your Cat Step 13.jpg|center]]
