Odd New

I have discovered a new love…Feather headpieces! Kenley on Project Runway always looked so cute with her pretty little feather clip and red lips. I completely fell in love with them, but I can’t find any pretty ones without having to spend all of my money. So, I decided to start making my own. Now I can’t stop wearing them!

1. Choose a hairclip with the right size

2. Cut an oval shape that’s big enough to cover the clip out of some interfacing

3. Use a glue gun to glue the back of the clip to the interfacing

4. Press the two together without burning yourself

5.Get some scrap felt and cut out a pretty little shape

6. Glue the shape to the inside of the clip and interfacing to keep them together

7. Take an old (clean) feather duster and pluck out the pretty feathers.

8. Use a glue gun to glue the spine of the feather and attach it to the top of the interfacing. This works best when you keep the bottom tip of the feather hanging over the edge.

9. Glue the feathers on until you can no longer see the interfacing.

10. Cut off the ends of your feathers.

11. Take out some jewels and glue them to the bottom for some sparkle.

12. Don’t be scared to use buttons, ribbons and different coloured feathers to make your headpiece cute, pretty and unique.

Happy Hair days!
