Feathers earings are an elegant option to add a touch of class to any look, which makes this tassel and feather earring the perfect accessory for formal events, as well as worn casually with jeans to make an easy everyday style statement.
Start by deciding the width the feather. It is based on its intended purpose, however, as a rule of thumb, use thread that has approximately 70-75 wraps per square inch for most effective results.
Select Your Feathers Feathers earings make an ideal material to work with for projects with a decorative theme due to their numerous shapes as well as colors and textures. Feathers are suitable for wall hangings, sculptures wreathes ornaments and dream catchers choosing the right feathers for each project is crucial as its overall look and feel depends heavily on them. Take into consideration factors like color size quality as well as soft or rigid options when selecting feathers for your product.
Based on your theme Based on the theme, neutral or natural feathers are likely to be the most appropriate. While dyed feathers can provide a lot of visual appeal however their vibrant hues can fade more quickly than natural feathers, so dyed feathers might not be the right choice for your project.
A second consideration is the available space. Longer feathers can create more drama and formality, whereas smaller ones can be more casual. When selecting feathers for use in your projects take note of their length and shape; Certain feathers feature flat surfaces, while others have larger curvilinear and ruffled forms that add the appearance of texture. If you don't take care of the feathers properly can cause knots or static-charged ones that are used, make sure to thoroughly inspect each one before using them.
Stack Them If you already own an earrings made of feathers that you love, add one or two additional feathers to give them more fullness. As more feathers are added to a headpin's fullness is increased. If you are adding more feathers to your headpin, ensure that an earring wire of high-quality (the hardware that goes through the ear) is in place; I would recommend lever backs with their adjustable loops on the bottom, which allows it to be able to open and close with ease.
Once you have your feathers arranged as desired, place them into the crimp tube and then close it using pliers for an unsecure hold. This allows you to then do other things with them such as sliding beads onto them for beaded earrings or wire the headpin onto a barrette for headpiece use. Making bird's nest pendants or clusters of flowers as pendants is also an option. You could also affix feathers directly onto wire to make bracelets! Make it your own! Try different arrangements as you design various effects
Wrap Them Feather earrings are an extremely fashionable fashion accessory. They look great with formal and casual attire adds an instantaneous sense of glamour, not to mention being incredibly light and easy to wear for all day comfort. You can add a splash of color by changing feather shades!
Feathers make beautiful accessories which require special attention to stay looking their best. When they are stored, whether hanging or lying flat they shouldn't be smashed by other objects or by hard surfaces. They must be handled with care to prevent chipping or cracking of feathers.
For a simple way to maintain their appearance, feathers can look great using twine to wrap securely around them. This kind of twine usually comes as an element of kits, or it can be bought separately. its waxy coating enables it to wrap tight around objects.
Make a wire piece long enough to wrap twice around the feather. Then, reduce it to about half of its original length. by using needle nose pliers to grasp both ends. One runs parallel with its spine and the other is perpendicular to it and forms loops (Photos 3 and 4). Once you've done this, hanging it from either an earwire or jump rings (great for adding it to necklaces) by putting its hook into the hole made at the top of wrapping (Photo 5).
Crimp These This helps to secure your feathers into an earring by using one crimp bead for each feather you are planning on adding. After you have parted your hair according to preference (not too much though), choose where you would like to attach the feather extension. Then slide an crimp bead on the wire. Flatten it with jewel pliers till it cinches tightly around the feather extension.
If you would want to add another bead crimp, just repeat the steps above until you have created the perfect feather earring be sure to make matching pairs!
When your earrings are finished just connect their earrings to the jump rings and close it. Now, you can enjoy wearing your custom, one-of-a-kind feather earrings!
