Feathers earings are an elegant way to add a touch of elegance to any look, which makes this tassel and feather earring the perfect accent for formal occasions, as well as worn casually with jeans to make an easy style statement for everyday wear.
The first step is to determine the size that your feather will be. This depends on its intended use; however, as a rule of thumb you should choose thread with approximately 70-75 wraps per square inch for most effective results.
Select Your Feathers Feathers earings are an excellent material to work with for projects with a decorative theme due to their numerous forms and colors. Feathers are suitable for sculptures, wall hangings wreaths, ornaments, and dream catchers The selection of the perfect feathers for any project is vital as the overall look and feel depends heavily on them - consider things like color size and quality as well as soft or rigid options when selecting feathers for use in your creation.
Based on the theme you are using Based on the theme, neutral or natural feathers could be the best choice. While dyed feathers can provide a lot of visual appeal but their bright colors can disappear faster than natural feathers. Therefore, dyed feathers may not be the right choice for your particular project.
A second consideration is the available space; longer feathers can create more formality and drama, while smaller ones can be more casual. When selecting the feathers you will use in your projects take note of their length and shape. certain feathers have flat surfaces while others have the curvilinear, ruffled shapes which add the appearance of texture. If you don't take care of them properly could cause knots or static-charged ones being used, ensure to inspect them thoroughly prior to use.
It is possible to stack them If you already have a pair of feather earrings that you love, add one or two additional feathers for more volume. As more feathers are added to a headpin's fullness is increased. If you are adding more feathers to your headpin, be sure that a quality earring wire (the hardware that connects to your ear) is in place; I recommend lever backs with their adjustable loops on the bottom, which allows it to open and close easily.
When you've got your feathers arranged as desired put them in the crimp tube and then close it with pliers to ensure an unsecure hold. This allows you to perform other tasks with them for example, like sliding beads over them to make earrings with beads or attaching the headpin directly onto a barrette for headpiece use. Creating bird's-nest pendants or clusters of flowers as pendants is another alternative. You can also affix feathers directly onto wire for bracelet creation! Make it your own! Experiment with different arrangements as you make various effects
Wrap Them Feather earrings are a elegant fashion accessory. Pairing them with both formal attire and casual outfits provides instant glamour, not to mention being incredibly light and easy to wear throughout the day for comfort. Bring a splash of colour by switching feather colors!
Feathers are beautiful accessories, that require special care to stay looking their best. When stored either hanging up or laid flat, they must not be crushed through other things or by hard surfaces; and should be handled with care to prevent cracking or chipping of feathers.
For a simple way to keep them looking good, feathers can be kept looking amazing by wrapping twine tightly around them. This twine often comes as part of a kit or is available separately. its waxy coating allows 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. using needle nose pliers grab both ends - one runs parallel with its spine, while the other runs perpendicularly to form loops (Photos 3 and 4). Once you've done this, hanging it on an ear wire or jump rings (great for adding to a necklace) using its hook through the hole created at the top of wrapping (Photo five).
Crimp These It helps to secure your feathers into an earring using just one crimp bead per feather you're planning on adding. After you have parted your hair in accordance to your preference (not too much though) select the location you would like to attach your feather extension and slide an crimp bead on the wire, then flatten it using jewel pliers till it cinches tightly around its target feather extension.
If you'd like to add a second bead crimp, just repeat these same steps until you've created your ideal feather earring - be sure to make identical pairs!
Once your earrings are complete Simply connect the hooks to a jump ring, then shut it. You can now relax wearing your custom, one-of-a-kind feather earrings!
