Feather hair accessories are all the rage! Feather hair accessories craft is fun and easy to do, not to mention lots cheaper than buying them. Great craft for girls. It is exciting for kids to suddenly be able to make something they have seen in the stores.
Collect Materials: First you need to collect your materials. Shopping for the materials with your daughter is half the fun. Go to the fabric or craft store for feathers. At the hardware store you can purchase very thin and flexible brass wire for not a lot of money or bead stores often have colored wire. At the drug store pick up some cute clips. At the bead store or craft store get a handful of fun beads for the hair ornaments. Make sure to get beads whose holes are not too big or too small. You will be putting the beads onto silk or leather cording so you want to make sure the holes are just bit bigger than the cording. This cording can be found at bead or craft stores as well.

Steps to Make Feather Hair Accessories:
1. Cut a piece of cord about 12''. Using the brass wire attach the cord to the feather. You will do so by wrapping the wire around top part of feather and about a 1 inch of cord. Keep wrapping and wrapping so brass is nice and thick and looks intentional and apart of design. When done cut with scissors and push end flat onto clump.
2. Next play with you beads. About 4-6 is a good number. Try and have ones with the tightest hole towards top and bottom. Tie a know on top of last bead.
3. Next you will attach hair clip. I leave about 3 inches of plain cord, but you can leave as much longer or shorter depending on how your daughter likes to wear her hair feather. Loop cord through hair clip at closed end and wrap about 1/4 inch of the overlapping cord to secure. Again wrap and wrap with brass so looks like an intentional part of design. When done trim excess. Now enjoy!
So cute!!!!
