A Feather Pretty is in My Hair + Tutorial

Sometimes I feel like a complete troll. I see some of the sweetest things on etsy and in my ultra cheapness I decide not to buy it but make it myself, and write a tutorial about it.

I’ve seen some stinking awesome feather headbands lurking around etsy, and I’ve made my own clippies with feathers on them, but the black-feather clippies didn’t really work in my short, dark hair. So I’m very excited to tell you that I’ve assembled a headband complete with feathers and fabric flower that doesn’t just blend in.

I’ve even made a FREE downloadable tutorial. Click here to download the Feather Headband Tutorial. If you’re having problems downloading, please comment and I’ll make sure to get it to you!

You’re welcome for the “link love.” :) I stumbled across your blog and I think it’s great! You have some wonderful designs and I love all of your sewing projects!! It makes me want to start back up! Funny thing I also noticed is that your Etsy is Melissapher . . . my name is Melissa and my husband is Chris and he used to call me Melissapher anytime I would use his full name (Christopher)!
