A Hair Piece

I got the idea into my head that I wanted to make a feather hair piece for my friends wedding. I figured it couldn't be too hard. After some browsing of some other peoples creations I hopped to it.

This is the finished product. It wasn't very hard to do, but it took a really long time. I chose to sew all my feathers on because I liked the feathers in the bag more than on the pre-made feather pad. I started with a tear shaped piece of felt and then laid out my feathers to get an idea of how I wanted it to look. Then I trimmed all of the fluffy bits off, which really helped with the sewing and cut down on all kinds of fluff sticking out between the feathers. I thought that made it look more clean and sleek as well. It made a crazy mess though. Feather fluff gets every where especially your mouth. When I finished the pad I sewed that on to a hairband.

What do you think? If you have a few hours to dedicate, say on a rainy day, it's a great project.

I think I'll try some simpler ones soon.
