INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will be using this as a template for the actual wings, so you only need to draw one side. Use a large sheet of paper, such as poster paper or newsprint. You can also tape several sheets of paper together to make a larger one. Cut the template out along the lines that you drew. Set it down onto a sheet of cardboard, then trace around it with a pen or pencil. Flip the wings over to the other side, like turning a page, and trace again. If you don't have cardboard, you can use poster paper instead. A box cutter or a craft blade will work the best for this. If you cut your wings out of poster paper, you can use a pair of scissors instead. Make sure that you cut just inside the lines that you traced. This way, you won't see the pen or pencil marks when the wings are done. Find the center of your wings where they will bend. Lightly run your craft blade down the center to create a shallow cut. Fold the wings in half along the score, then unfold them. If you used poster paper, simply fold the wings in half, then unfold them. You can paint the wings using spray paint, poster paint, or even acrylic paint. Do one side first, let it dry, then do the other side. If you are using poster paper, you might want to skip this step. Take a look at some pictures of butterfly wings, then copy the designs onto your cardboard wings with pencil. Fill the designs in using paintbrushes and acrylic paint or poster paint. You can do this on both sides of the wings, but let the first side dry before doing the second. Sketch out the lines with pencil first, then go over them with glitter glue. Iridescent will look pretty, but you can use other colors too. If you don't have any glitter glue, draw your designs using regular school glue (straight from the bottle), then sprinkle glitter on top. Look at pictures of fairy wings or dragonfly wings for more ideas. You can do this on both sides, but let the first side dry. The possibilities are endless here. You can use basic craft supplies, like glitter glue or paint, or themed supplies, such as fake flowers or rhinestones. You can try: Drawing designs using paint. Stir some glitter to the paint first for even more sparkle! Gluing rhinestones onto the wings for extra sparkle. Add more designs using glitter glue. Gluing paper doilies onto the wings to create a snow fairy look. Decorating the wings using fake flowers or fake leaves to create a nature fairy look. How long this takes depends on what you used to decorate them. Paint typically dries within an hour, but glitter glue can take up to a day to dry. You can help speed up the process by setting the wings out to dry in a sunny location. Use a hammer and a nail to punch 2 holes on the left side of the wing, and 2 holes on the right. The holes should all be the same distance apart, forming a box shape. They need to be 23 inches (5.17.6cm) from the central score/fold line. Thread the first ribbon through the top-left and bottom-left holes. Thread the second ribbon through the top-right and bottom-right holes. Make the ribbons long enough so that you can wrap them around your shoulders and tie them into bows. Have someone hold the wings against your back for you. Wrap the left set of ribbons around your shoulder, and tie them together into a bow. Repeat the process for the right.

SUMMARY: Sketch out your wing design on a large sheet of paper. Cut your template out, then trace it onto cardboard. Cut the wings out just inside the lines that you drew. Score or fold the wings down the middle. Paint the wings a solid color, if desired. Paint details onto the wings if you want them more realistic. Draw designs with glitter glue if you want fantasy wings. Decorate the wings with other items if you're feeling creative. Allow the wings to dry completely. Punch 2 holes to either side of your score/fold line. Cut 2 pieces of ribbon and thread them through the holes to make straps. Tie the ribbons together to wear the wings.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Protein is a necessary ingredient for skin and tissue growth. Eating 2 to 3 servings per day will stimulate wound healing. Some good sources of protein are: Meats and poultry Beans Eggs Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt, especially Greek yogurt Soy protein products Fats are needed for the formation of cells, so you'll need plenty to make your wound heal quickly and efficiently. Make sure the fats you're getting are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, or "good fats." Saturated fats from junk foods won't help you heal and can cause other health problems. Sources of "good fats" that will help you heal are lean meats, vegetable oils such as sunflower or olive, and dairy products. Carbohydrates are important because your body uses them for energy. Without them, your body will break down nutrients like protein to get its energy. This can slow the healing process because protein and fats will be diverted from healing your wound. Prevent this by eating cereal, bread, rice, and pasta daily. Go for complex carbohydrates over simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are digested more slowly by your body, meaning they are less likely to spike your blood sugar. Foods containing complex carbs, such as whole grain breads, cereals, and pastas, sweet potatoes, and whole oats, also generally contain more fiber and protein. Both these vitamins help wounds heal by stimulating cell growth and fighting inflammation. They also fight infection while the cut is still healing. Sources of vitamin A include sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, herring, salmon, eggs, and dairy products. Sources of vitamin C include oranges, yellow peppers, dark green vegetables, and berries. Zinc helps synthesize proteins and develop collagen, helping your wounds heal. Eat red meats, fortified cereals, and shellfish to get enough zinc in your diet. Keep your fluid intake up to help improve circulation, which bring essential nutrients to your wound. Water also helps your body flush out toxins, which will help prevent infection.

SUMMARY:
Eat 2 or 3 servings of protein daily. Increase your fat intake. Eat carbohydrates daily. Get enough vitamin A and C. Include zinc in your diet. Stay hydrated.
