Feather Clips

I'm in love with the new trend, feather extensions! I think they are so pretty, and it's also a lot of fun, and very easy to make your own feather clips, so you can rock these pretty feathers without getting an extension!


Here's what you will need:



Obviously you will need feathers, even though they can be pricey, I really recommend real feathers, they look so much more authentic. They can be found at craft and specialty stores.


But, if you want to go for a more whimsical, fun type look, or you don't have real feathers, you can use the fake, dyed kind that can be found in any store that sells craft supplies.

You will also need scissors and any kind of thin string.

  
Lastly, you will need bobby pins.


             Pick out as many feathers of whatever colors you want(I would recommend three feathers at the most to make them look like real extensions, and make sure to coordinate your colors) and take your string, and wrap and knot it around all your feathers several times. Then cut about 3 or 4 inches off the string, and take one side of the string and pull it through the inside of the bobby pin, then take the other side, and tie it to the bobby pin until it is tight.


You can make tons of cool color combinations!


Just slide the bobby pin in your hair, and Voila! You have your own feather extension clip!


What do you think of the feather trend? Are you going to make some of your own? COMMENT:)

Neat! I like them. :) Unfortunately, we have only the cheap, plastic feathers. :P I'll try to find some in the yard, if I can.
