Feather Hair Accessories Option 1

Materials Needed:

  • All-purpose craft glue
  • A selection of feathers
  • Silver-tone French barrette hair clips

Step-by-Step Assembly:

  1. Apply a thin line of glue along the length of the barrette clip. If you apply too much, gently dab away the excess with a Q-tip.
  2. Select a sturdy, thick feather for the base. Place it on the glued area of the barrette and press firmly until it adheres.
  3. Allow the base to dry slightly, then begin adding additional feathers. Start from the center and work outward, layering the feathers to create a full, lush look.
  4. Check for any messy spots. If needed, cover them by gluing a small feather over the area.
  5. Allow the entire piece to dry thoroughly. Once dry, your handmade feather barrette is ready to wear!

Pro Tip: For a flawless finish, ensure each feather is securely glued and positioned as desired before the glue sets.

  • Thin brass wire
  • A snap hair clip

  3. Place your chosen feathers into a bead, securing them with the wire. Ensure both the bead and feathers are firmly held by the wire.
  4. Continue adding beads and feathers along the thread, spacing them as desired until the accessory reaches your preferred length.
  5. Ensure all elements are securely attached and the ends of the wire are trimmed and tucked away.
