Take a piece of foam board and cut it in two in the middle.

These two pieces have to be the same length as an extended arm.

Attach one strap to each piece of foam board to be able to put it on your arms.

Put the button in the middle and make two small holes next to it to put the string.

Cut two strings that will be stretched when you extend your arms, to press the button.

Put the strings in the holes and put the button back in the middle to see if it is pressed when the string is stretched.

Try it on.

This is how it is supposed to look in the front and from the back.

Scotch the card to the wing and plug the cables to the G and D pin on Makey Makey.

Connect the G and D cables to the button on the wings.

Glue the feathers to the foam boards to make the wings look more realistic.

Connect the cables to the computer and start playing!
