Peacock Feathers - Not Just The Tail

Peacock feathers are really popular for a reason.

They are absolutely stunning!

 The perfect combination of colors, in beautiful patterns that create the rich and colorful image of the eye that the peacock tail feathers are so famous for. But the peacock has many other beautiful feathers that don’t get the same amount of publicity as the tail feathers.

Take a look at these three different feathers that come from the peacock, but are not the tail feather.
They each have beautiful colors and can be used for all sorts of feather crafts and fashions.

Peacock Plumage - Natural Black

Look at the awesome contrast of te black with the green in these feathers.
Also a big plus about these feathers that we have to mention is the low price. Think about how much you can do with these feathers when you can get them at such a low cost.

These feathers in addition to their great color combination also have great patterns in them.

Peacock Feather Dresses – 1900`s & 2000`s

I just need to put these two pictures next to each other to show the wonders of our evolution.

Take a minute to see the evolution of our style.

See the evolution of our technology, the advances in our ability to capture an image.

I feel from looking at these two pictures that you could see the advancement of our race at being happier even.

But hey you know this isn’t a history or a sociology blog.

We like to talk about feathers.

And after a hundred years people are still wearing peacock feather dresses.

Feathers are forever.

How To Make A Peacock Feather Skirt

Buy this hot peacock feather dress for 195 pounds or you can try and make your own skirt and add a top of your own choosing. I can’t say that it will look as good but it will cost less and maybe you can make something that will look even better.

This is a project that I would say is simple but not exactly easy. You could make a very impressive looking peacock feather skirt without being very skilled but you do need to be motivated. The reason you need to be motivated is because there is quite a bit of tedious work involved in this project. The amount of work you will need to do depends very much on the length of the skirt you are making. A mini skirt will take far less time than a full length skirt will.

What you will need.

1- A skirt

2- Peacock feathers

3- Needle and thread

4- Two inch strip of material to create a belt for the top of the skirt

Now let’s just say that you are making a mini skirt like the one in the picture. All you need to do is attach two rows of feathers and add the material to cover up the stems of the top row of feathers. Start with the bottom row, place the feathers vertically and let the tips of the feathers come bellow the bottom of the skirt with the feather stems facing up.

Attach the feathers

Thread the needle and hold the feather on to the place of the skirt that you would like to attach it to. Starting from the inside of the skirt, push the needle through the skirt material right next to the feather stem. Pull the thread over the feather stem and back through the skirt material. Then go through the skit material again and over the feather again. Make three or four rounds pulling the thread tight to secure the feather to the skirt. Knot both ends of the thread on the inside of the skirt.

Go all the way around the skirt attaching each feather just over lapping the feather next to it.

Remember what I said about motivation?

The second row should cover the stems of the first and so on until the skirt is covered with feathers.

Attach the last strip of material at the top to cover the feather steams at the top row and you are done.
