DIY UPDATE

So remember about 100 years ago when I decided to make that headband from Urban Outfitters? I finished it about 3 days later, and just never took any pictures or anything. So here are some now.



Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. As well as the poor quality of my appearance. I haven't had any reason to leave the house the past week due to that wonderful ice storm that hit New England, so I've just been kind of hanging out lately.

So anyways- that was the the pheasant feather version of the headband. I wore it to school a couple times and got several different reactions. Some loved it, some called me a bird (so clever, I know.) Some were impressed that I made it, some said that they were reminded of Kenley. (Third runner up on the last season of project runway.)


She was always wearing some sort of feathery thing on her head. Unfortunately she wasn't wearing feathers in this photo I found, but hey.

So I started a new one headband just a few days ago with guinea feathers. I finished the headpiece but I have yet to glue it on to the headband.

So once I get around to finding some hot glue, it'll be done. Then I was thinking of venturing away from feathers and trying to make something new. We'll see how things go!

Hope you're having a great day! ;]

DIY: Success!!

So with some Arizona Green Tea, and some Project Runway Reruns this afternoon, I completed the main piece of the feather headband. I could not be anymore excited!





If I do say so myself, there is a striking resemblance with the original $24.00 one. The only difference? This one cost me $20.00 less. :]

Tomorrow I'm going to go see if I can find a nice thin metal headband. Then I'll post the final pictures!

DIY - Feather Hair Accessories

Okay so I've been in LOVE with this feather headband from U.O.


But I didn't want to pay $24.00 plus shipping and handling. So then I found this at Bona Drag:


Instead of a headband its a hair clip. Only $15.00 plus shipping.

SOOOO since I don't have a job and I'm lucky I have some pennies in a jar right now, I hit up the local craft store and got some sweet Almond Pheasent Feathers, Heart Pheasent Feathers, and Guinea Feathers. Stay tuned!
