Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Get out your craft wire and bend it into wing shapes (forms). Then get out a cookie sheet. I've managed to destroy all my cookie sheets so mine is on an upside-down pie pan. Lol.
Tear off a sheet of tinfoil so that it measures a little more than twice the width of the wing forms and set the wing forms on one side.
Fold the foil in half and lay it over the wings. Now rub the foil inside each wing piece until they are nice and smooth. Get as close to the edges as you can. Now remove the wing forms from under the foil and you should have some nice wing molds.
Dump your crystals into a bowl (Notice mine is MLP ^_~).
Get some crystals on your teaspoon and use it to carefully fill the foil mold. Make certain to over fill the mold. I cannot stress this enough. The crystals will leave gaping holes in your finished wings if you don't. Once the mold is full, use your index finger to gentley (And I do mean GENTLEY! If you do it to hard you will squish your mold and have to start over.) remove the excess crystals from around the edges of the indentations. I have found that wetting my finger makes it easier to pick up the crystals once they are out of the way of the mold.
Use your tweezers to set more crystals in any spots that look bare. Before you bake you should not see ANY spaces.
Ready to bake.
Very carefully, pick up your cookie sheet and place it in the oven. Bake for 15-25 minutes. (It usually takes about 25 for me, but my oven is old) Once your wings look similar to this (pic at right) they are ready to come out. Let them cool, then pop them out of the mold.
Once you have the wing pieces out they'll look something like this. Notice the bumps and such (Circled on pic). Get a towel to sit on(This will make a mess), an X-acto and the sanding sticks. Spread out the towel and sit down. Using the X-acto, cut off the largest bumps and nubs. Be careful not to cut yourself. Once that's done, use the rough sanding sticks to file down the edges until they are nearly smooth. I say 'nearly' smooth, because if you sand them until they are completly smooth you will most likely wind up with mishapen wings. Also, try to make the matching wing piece pairs as close in size as possible.
Extremly important!!!! Make sure you file ALL the edges of the wings, whether they are bumpy or not. You need a flat surface all the way around the wing edge or putting on the Wild Wire will be pure hell. Now it's time for the part I HATE. Get your Zap-a-Gap, your Wild Wire and your wing pieces. (Photos of this step will be posted at a later date) Roll out some of the wire (Do not cut it from the roll yet) and, leaving a little sticking off the end, wrap it around the edge of a wing piece, starting at the point that will be coming off the body. Now, holding the wire closed at the end (Make sure you hold the wing piece tip down), take the Zap-a-Gap and run glue around the edge at the seam of the wire and the plastic. I may be bad at gluing, I don't know. All I do know is I wind up gluing my fingers to themselves or the plastic about 5 times per wing piece *Whimpers*. So just be careful. Once the glue is dry (Do NOT cut the wire) twist the ends together for about a quarter inch. Using the same piece of wire, start on the matching wing piece. After the second one is done you may cut the wire off the roll. Repeat this with the second set. Once both sets are glued and dried it's time to install them. Fold the wire in between the wing sets in half. Now carefully cut a hole (Just a little smaller than the wire) in the pony's back where you want the wings to come from. Have the small wing set slightly overlapping the large set. Keep in mind that if you are using a pony in the 'flirty' pose (Head turned sideways toward the body) you will have to lay the wings flat. Push in the larger wing set first. Take off the pony's head and bend the wire inside the body so that it's flat against the inner back. Repeat with the smaller set. Pop the head back on. Now mix up a small amount (No bigger than a marble) of Apoxie Sculpt. Make sure the wings are in their final position. Take a tiny piece of the Apoxie Sculpt and stick it on the end of a paintbrush handle (Makes it easier to apply). Put the Apoxie Sculpt over the holes and the wire in the middle of the wings. Use some water to smooth it over and let dry for 24 hours. After it's dry you may paint the Apoxie sculpt to match your pony's body color if you wish. Now for the finishing touch. You may have noticed that one side of the wings is lovely and glossy and the other side is dull. This is where the clear coat comes in. Paint the dull side of all the wing pieces with the clear coat. Also use this method to cover any dull spots that may have been made by the glue. Let dry. Repeat 2 more times and you're done! ^_^\/ If anything seems unclear, or you simply have questions, please don't hesitate to Email me.
