Feather earrings are the trend of the moment.This is a bold accessory that can be made very easily by following this simple tutorial!
-
Using a needle or piercing tool, poke a small hole in each feather. Make the hole at the top of the feather, but not too close to the top edge (otherwise it will risk tearing).
-
Open the rings. Use pliers for this part:if you have two pairs, you can use one pair to hold the ring in place and the other to open it.
-
Thread the rings into the feathers. Use two loops for each feather, so that there is space between the hook and the feather.
-
Close the outermost ring. You should now have two feathers ready to attach to the earwires.
-
Open the hooked end of the nubs. Slide it inside each ring and close with pliers.The feathers should now hang from the hook.
-
Shake the feathers a little to make sure that the hook and the ring are well joined. And there you have it!

Creation is finished.Advertising
-
Apply a drop of glue to the front of the clip. If the clip is particularly small and the feather is quite large, cut a small piece of cardstock into a circle shape and glue it to the clip first.It will provide a larger and safer surface to attach the feather to.Let dry and apply additional glue before proceeding to the next step.
-
Attach the feather, or feathers, with glue.
-
If you want to use a gemstone, glue it to the top of the feather where it rests on the clip. It can be a great way to hide the end of the feather.
-
Try on earrings. Check that they are comfortable to wear and you're done.Advertising
Advice
- Make sure the metal parts are all the same metal:If the rings are silver, don't buy gold nuns!
- You can make circles of beads or sequins around the gemstone, or you can include beads in your drop earring arrangement.
- The second method can also be used for shoe clips.Create a pair of earrings and a pair of matching shoe clips to have a complete set of fashion accessories.
- Once you've made them, you can mix and match your feather earrings.
