Feathers for your hair

I really enjoy the feather hair clips that look as if they could have been decoration on an old hat. So I decided to experiment.

Supplies: metal hair clips, felt, feathers, fake flowers, decorative patches, hot glue

Instructions: Cut a felt oval to serve as the base for your first piece. Glue the oval to the flat side of a hair clip, making sure you don't glue the clip shut. When the base has dried, glue feathers to the felt and add a decorative patch to the tip. Voila!

Glue warning: At first, I was using a special craft glue for metal, but the bubbling that the glue did as it dried did not mix with the feathers. So I switched to a hot glue gun, which worked very well.





I also made a couple of clips with flowers, using felt for the bases:
