Feathers WE’RE Flirting
WITH
Charmed, I 'm SureFeathers go vintage in this art-as-accessory charm bracelet. First, weave a thin rhinestone chain through a chunkier chain. Then add some eye-popping feathers (outfitted with cord crimps) and charms to the bracelet using jump rings.
These Boots were Made for...Feathers Strut your stuff in stylishly feathered boots. Kick your oldies but goodies up a notch by stitching a dainty chain to both sides of the boot, letting a few inches of the chain hang down. Then attach a few colorful feathers and beads to the chain with cord crimps and jump rings. Now you’re steppin’ in style!
Knock on WoodTo create this eye-catching centerpiece, hot glue an assortment of feathers and dazzling jewels to two wood slices (found in the Craft Department).
Any pillar-style candleholder you have can provide the base for this unique piece.
Don’t forget the walls! To make this unique wreath, hot glue individual pheasant feather pads all over a Styrofoam™ wreath. Fill it in with coordinating feathers to add more interest.
Full Circle
Packages & P lumesDress up your presents! Use an artful arrangement of feathers to spruce up a passel of packages. We chose guinea fowl, peacock, and various other feathers and glued the feathers in among the bows.
Stepping OutTransform plain heels from totally predictable to absolutely irresistible by hot gluing a gorgeous array of feathers inside the strap of the heel. Then glue a satin ribbon the width of the strap over the feathers, for added comfort. Dozens of sparkling heat-set gems completed the “ooh la la” effect.
Hold on to Your FeathersWe’re holding onto great style with this perfectly feathered clutch! To make your own, simply gather
lots of coordinating feather picks, remove the loops from the feathers and use hot glue to adhere the feathers to the purse. Tip: This look is great for thrift store finds and for turning a back-of-the-closet clutch into a brand-new accessory.
Light as a FeatherThis lampshade was made by simply
hot gluing a mass of lustrous black feathers to the shade and layering in a few
well-placed stripped coque feathers.
In Fine FeathersHere’s a new take on traditional jewelry! A simple leather band forms the base, then hot glue pretty feathers and a gorgeous brooch to the center.
Precious P lumage
We used a felt jewelry base, found in the Jewelry
Dept.(trimmed to fit our needs), as the backing for our heirloom-style
necklace. First, sew split rings onto each end of the
felt to attach the chain. Then hot glue sprays of
feathers to the felt. Add a pretty pendant, dangling
beads and a darling button to finish off the design.
Go for the GoldCovered in lace, embellished with pearl clusters and accented with gorgeous feathers, this opulent masquerade mask couldn’t have been easier to make—the feathers are simply hot glued to the back of the mask.
