DIY: Easy Feathered Headdress
Written by: Lady of Fashion
To make your Easy Feather Headdress cut a circular piece of felt approx. "2x2," This measurement should be smaller than your silk flower piece. If you use a smaller flower adjust circular (piece measurement).
Quick Tip: If you don't have felt, you may use a piece of leather as I have done cut at 3"x3." Next, I folded each end of the leather piece in half towards
the center. Glue in place. Set aside.
Depending on the type of feathers that you select you may need to cut the ends, as some have wrapped with wire. Cut the ends to ensure the feathers are smooth. Lay the feathers on top of the felt piece (with the felt piece folded side up) in a design to your preference.
With a glue gun carefully glue each feather to the felt piece, leaving room at the bottom edge for the flower placement. Glue the flower on top of the feathers where the space has been left. When the glue is dry turn the entire headress over and glue the pin back clip to the felt piece.

For Netting:
Cut 1 netting piece in a circle 4"-5"" in diameter, then cut in half. Attach 1 piece netting by slowly gluing it to the back edge of pin back clip, creating gathers. Now, the netting should be extended from the feather headdress. To add the second netting piece repeat the previous step. Additionally, you may use scissors to cut various pieces of the netting to tailor your hat. Play around with different shapes! In this version I added a pedal-shaped netting piece to add a personal touch!
