Peacock Feather Headband

Clearly I have an obsession with all things peacock.  

Example #1: my birthday shoes.

Example #2: this headband.


Stupid easy, but I get stopped and asked about it *every time* I wear it out.

Want a tutorial??

What you'll need:
  • 1 wire headband
  • felt (color of your choosing)
  • scissors
  • hot glue gun

I got a set of 3 headbands at the dollar store (score!)...they were wrapped in beads, but that was super easy to take off and now I have extra beads (double score)!

I cut a pointed oval shape out of my black felt, which will be the feather base.  It's approximately half the size of the headband itself...


Now you're going to start cutting feathers...they can be as small or as large as you want, but mine are about 2-3 inches long.


The feathers are the same shape as the base you just made, but to make them feather-like, we're going to cut slits down each side...

Now start gluing to your base!

Once you're done, glue the base to the headband and it will look something like this...

LOVE!
