Adding wire to wings

Embroidered applique wings can have fine florist, jewellery or sculpture wire sewn underneath to give structure & support.

Insert the end of the wire into the end claw, this can be secured with a little epoxy glue, use a pin to insert it into the claw & let it set.

Secure a stitch next to where the wire comes out & whip stitch wire to back of wing claw.
