Feathered Hair Clip



This is are really cute and easy hair accessory.

You will need: Feathers of your choice, you can buy them from craft stores.
                        A small amount of felt or thick fabric
                        Hot glue gun and a glue stick
                        plain hair clip of your choice
                        Scissors


Step One: First you will want to heat up your glue gun. Then cut out a piece of your fabric or felt into the shape of a leaf or teardrop. Try to cut it slightly smaller than the size you actually want it to be.



Step Two: Once you have the size and shape you want then you can start to glue your feathers on. You will want to start at the top and work your way down overlapping the feathers as you cover the fabric. I used the longer feathers at the top and gradually smaller ones as I went.  Some of the feathers you may need to trim with your scissors to get the size you want. You can lay out the feathers before you glue them just to see how it will look.

Step Three: Once you like the way it looks, cut out a small strip of the fabric/felt and slide it inside your clip. Place it on the back side of your feather piece and glue together. Ta-Da your all done.


You can spice up any hair style with this cute clip. It especially looks nice with a vintage hair style like victory rolls.
