Crafternoon: Give yourself wings

There’s some amazing wing mural street art around the world. How about trying it out at home to create some fun, colourful, family photos?

The idea is simple: Create wing shapes on a wall or a floor and pose in front of them. Stand on a stool and get your camera angle right to make it look like you’re flying!

If you’re feeling very artistic, you could try drawing free hand, but you could also use cardboard, or create a collage effect with scrap paper, newspaper, leaves, or whatever you can get your hands on. You could even just chalk on the wall or pavement.

Your wings could take an form – fairy, bird, aeroplane, dragon. The only limit is your imagination!

This You Tube video has some ideas to help you get started.

You might also find some inspiration from this primary school teacher who had fun creating murals with her class.
