Feather Earrings

I could spend 10-15 dollars on a cute pair of feather earrings that everyone else has...or I can make them!



I bought a huge bag of feathers for the purpose of using them in a corsage and boutonnière for my sister's prom. (pictures of them will be up after April 16th) Even though I only need a few feathers, I seized the opportunity to explore different feather mediums.

Thus these super cute custom earrings were born!










I also made a headpiece from an ostrich feather and a vintage button. You can see in the close up that the button has started to patina, giving it a vintage blue color. I am not sure how old it is. I do know that it came from a button box that belonged to my great grandmother.

She would have loved to wear something like that.

Coming soon: Prom DIY! Also handmade gifts and some photography.
