Hi Ladies,

I have come across some sites & compared prices on feathers. I have a handful at home that I've been playing with for my DIY's.  I thought we could share recources & tips on how to work with them.  I am currently working on my FG Baskets, RB Pillows & Bird Cage.

CHEAP….picks above…also tails & eyes.

I made my hair flower,but I think its a little large. It may turn into a nice sash for my dress.

I want to make these, but haven't attempted them yet. You can curl the feather with small barreled hot curlers. I tested this out on low setting. You can even use a light hairspray to help it hold. I use a very small amount. I'll share photos of my curled later. From ebay.

I'm doing feather placemats this weekend. 

I want to buy this fan, but I have no use for it.

OMG...feather placemats?  How many are you making?  That sounds like a task, and I love that you want to buy that fan without a need for it.  That is SO me!

I am making about 20. So I don't expect that to take too long. They are to go under the lanterns I am using in my centerpiece. I'm going to update my profile with my real centerpieces later tonight.

Oh..I thought they were to go under the plates. I can't wait to see!!

I bought mine from Ostrich.com but I later found plumesnfeathers which was cheaper so I wished I would have held out.
