2. Dreamy Feather Earring Accessories
Custom jewelry is a great way to express yourself, and feather earrings are a timeless staple. They are incredibly lightweight, meaning you can go for a bold, oversized look without hurting your ears. This is a great craft for gifting to friends!
- Materials Needed:
- Two matching feathers
- Earring hooks
- Crimp ends (jewelry ribbon ends)
- Pliers
- Small beads
- Steps:
- Trim the stem (quill) of your feathers so they are even.
- Slide a crimp end over the tip of the feather quill.
- Use your pliers to squeeze the metal shut until it grips the feather tightly.
- Attach the earring hook to the loop on the crimp end.
- Add a small bead or charm if you want extra sparkle.
Pro Tip: If your feathers are looking a bit “flat,” use a hair straightener on the lowest heat setting to gently smooth out the barbs.
