Pretty Feather Earrings

Howdy Folks! Today we are making basic feather earrings. They look like hair extensions when worn with longer hair styles, they are super easy to make and I always get a ton of compliments.

Here is the finished product so you can see what you are getting yourself in to:

Supplies:
2 Pairs of small needle nose pliers
Earrings (the part that you put through your ear)  
Chain-link
Jump Rings (O shaped rings)
End-Caps
Feathers

Earrings

Chain-Link

End-Caps

Jump-rings

1. Pick out four  solid color feathers and four smaller feathers to layer. You can choose to use just one feather, but I like the depth and texture of two.

  2. Take your end cap and lay a pair of feathers within the two little metal prongs.

3. Use your pliers to push down the prongs one at a time to secure the end of the feathers in it's grasp. Repeat with all four pairs of feathers.

4. Cut your chain to your desired length. You can obviously choose to have as many or as few feathers as you would like.

5. Take the Jump ring and open it up using one plier in each hand. Put the ring through the top of the Jump ring and then put it through a link on the chain. Close the jump ring so the edges of the circle are smooth and meet up perfectly. Repeat with each feather. Keep them spaced evenly on the chain, with one on the top and one on the bottom!

 

6. Now add the earring to the top of the chain with the same method that you used for the feathers.

7.  Go nuts and make dozens of pairs to match every outfit!
