Hey everyone!
I have been seeing a lot of feather earrings or feathers places and I thought 'hey, I want to do that!' And it turns out, I can do that! So ran to my local Auchan (like a WalMart but not cheap, nothing here is cheap) and got some supplies I needed. Okay, so all I bought were the feathers and wire. I think it would have been pretty to get mulit-colored feathers or something else, but these are what they had and I didn't have the patience to go anywhere else. So here is what you need:
- Feathers
- Earring hooks
- wire
- Connecting circles (don't know the real name, sorry!)
- Optional - I used the pearls from my other broken necklace for a middle. You could probably do without though.
So I hope that explains it well. You are basically tying the feathers together and making the hoop for attachment at the same time. Once that is done, attach everything. I love this next picture. Pretty self explainitory, right?
Feather + Pearl + hook = Earring! Voila!
Yes, my eyes are red. No I don't do drugs. I have kids. Boys, at that. |
Unfortunately, this is the only pic I have of my wearing them so far. They are also in my makeup tutorial here. I thought we I was being funny by trying to make the same face as he was. {Not successful}
So, what do you think? Now I have one pair of earrings and three full bags of feathers left. What to do with the feathers? Any suggestions?
