DIY Hair Feathers!

I love the new trend of feathers, 

Here is some famous person wearing them, I'm sure I should know who it is but I don't care.

I even have two in my hair, a yellow rooster and a peacock.

They are super expensive!!!

Even for me, and I'm a stylist.

SERIOUSLY they are rooster feathers, they aren' worth $23 a piece.

so I made my own,

I tried it out. Proof of concept is the rainbow feather on the left

on the right are the markers

the feathers I purchased from the HOB LOB.

$2.49 for the feathers and I had the markers.

 I started just by coloring the feather in.

 easy peasy!

Then I stripped the part I didn't want just by pulling against the grain.

 Cute aye?

 I still wasn't sure about the feather so I cut it down and viola! cuteness!

 That was easy right? let's make a blue one!

 I stripped the feather the same way as I did before.

 Here are all the ones I made threaded and glued to a bobby pin so I don't have to choose what one I want for a long time.

once the glue dries I will cut off the rest of the ("stem"??)

What ever.

I hope you all have fun making your own! If anyone knows someone on a farm that can get rooster feathers that would be the way to go but I don't know anyone on a farm anymore!

plus roosters are MEAN!

Thanks for stopping by!
