first, you will need to draw a figure like this, looks like a feather, so this will be the guide, draw two of this wings the you will bend them by the middle  and will look more like a snitch's wings, paint them in the color you preffer, silver or gold, I choose gold color using markers.

now you have to take two toothpicks and glue them to the wings, to insert the wings in the ball
