Answer:
First you need a template for the frame, to make the shape. Here's an example http://sewing.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://members.aol.com/pumpkinave/costumes/angel.htm Then you can choose to make it solid, out of cardboard and spray with articial snow or glue feathers, cotton wool, angel hair or lace on it for the solid look. Another way is to use the template to make a frame out of coat hangers or wire, and stretch gauze, lace, tulle or netting (even hosiery) over the shape and embellish with sequins, beads, feathers or spray adhesive and glitter. There are more templates at http://www.dltk-holidays.com/xmas/coloring.html http://sewing.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://members.aol.com/pumpkinave/costumes/angel.htm http://familycrafts.about.com/od/makingangels/Angel_Craft_Projects.htm?terms=angel+template which can be enlarged by using a free trial software version of PC Stitch http://crossstitch.about.com/od/computersoftware/Computer_Software.htm to make your own patterns.

If you find the instructions given by other answerer's, a bit hard to do, I have a suggestion. Most Party City stores have left out their Halloween costume wings out for sale. I just saw some beautiful feathered ones there. They were in plastic bags, so they are quite fresh looking. You should also check out this site. You may find what you need to make them. http://familycrafts.about.com.

Walmart has wire in heavy gauges for shaping the wings in the hardware department. In the sewing department you can get tulle (bridal net) elastic (white) and needle and thread, glitter in glue and shake form aor the spray glitter. Shape the wings (2) and drape the tulle over it pull taut to the center and stitch in place with a few stitches. Add a loop of elastic for each shoulder and you have wings. glitter if desired

Use hangers to make the wings just straighten them out a little and attach some suspenders to keep them on. Then take the wire and then wrap them with some guaze. Or take some other material and stretch it over itl
