Quick requested tutorial for making (Miniature) paper wings :3
I'm using a miniature wing as an example here, but this technique can be applied in varying degrees to both larger and smaller wings. If you have any questions, just ask. :)
This is the same technique I'm using for a set of wings I'm making.
Making them with a cereal box piece as a base, you'll find they're quite bendy. If you need any more detailed assistance on the structure of the wings, this guide by ^Cedarseed shall help greatly.

This actually doubles as part of my writing assessment.

If you use this tutorial to make something, link me to it in the comments! I'd love to see it ^_^

Would this technique work the same on a larger scale?

Of course! I was planning, years ago, to make a set of wings eight feet wide but didn't finish. It worked well up until I lost motivation. XD

Depending on the size of the feathers, though, upgrade the stiffness and thickness the bigger each one goes. And you'll be expending quite a bit of paper and glue, too.
