Feather Hair Pieces

















I made these feather hair pieces for my bridesmaids so they would match me since I wore a birdcage veil and had a feather hair piece also.

Some of our wedding photos are posted on the Something Bold website where I bought my birdcage veil.

I feel in love with the vintage classic look and loved how all the pieces turned out.

Feather Hair Pieces
Materials:
1 bag of guinea plumage feathers (available at Joanns or Micheals)
1 bag of mixed feathers with the colors of your choice (available at Joanns or Micheals)
Plain black hair combs (2 pack at walgreens is $1.50)
Satin Ribbon of your choice
1 yard of tule netting
sewing thread and needle

Cut a circular piece of tule as your base to lay the feathers. Arrange the feathers as you like and wrap tightly with thread to set the base together. Connect the satin ribbon with thread and tie to the feather piece. Wrap the satin ribbon around the base of the feathers to cover the base. Sew the ribbon end piece to close. Sew the feather piece to your hair comb and finish.
