Angel wings?

[pumpsnail.livejournal.com]

For Halloween I wanted to make angel wings. I bought a bunch of feathers and pantyhose but the wire I got is just not working. What gauge wire should I use? The stuff I got is 18 gauge and it's not nearly thick enough. And no, I don't have any coat hangers I could use, so I have to go to the store. :\

Thanks girls and guys!
