How to make a feather headdress

The first step to making this party hat is dying and glittering the feathers. Look for white feathers at your local craft store and paint the tops of each feather with acrylic watercolor paints. Add a pop of glitter with a foam brush before the paint is dry!

To make the feather headdress you will need a couple of larger feathers (painted and glittered), smaller feathers, ribbon, lace, and jewels.

Glue the large feathers to the back of the ribbon and let dry. Flip over and top the ribbon with a length of lace. Then lightly glue the jeweled bracelet or broach on top (thrift stores can be a great source for these). Flip back over and fill in the rest of the headdress by gently gluing on the smaller feathers.
