How To Make a Halloween Feather Wreath

You can make a feather wreath for Halloween really easily.
All you need is a feather boa, wire hanger, masking tape and some fishing wire.
All you need to do is make a circle with the wire hanger using the making tape to connect the two ends. Then attach one end of the feather boa to the wire hanger using the fishing wire.
Now all you need to do is wrap the boa around the wire hanger and attach the other end using the fishing wire.
After this your wreath is ready, now it is up to you to haunt it with some skeletons, witches and goblins and stuff.

The Best Halloween Feather Boas

Our dark black extra large feather boa could go great with a number of Halloween costumes for both males and females.
The extra large boa may be too large for smaller children but if you kid wants to dress up as a vampire queen then one of our smaller size black or red boas could be perfect.
Also you could choose our other colors such as orange or pink to suite your costume.
Boas can be the perfect added touch to any kind of Halloween costume.
I think that the three best feather boas for Halloween are:
1- Turkey Ruff Boa Two-Tone – Oversized
2- Turkey Ruff Boa – Oversized
3- Turkey Ruff Boa w/ Ostrich
I really like these boas for Halloween because I just feel that red and black are two of the best colors for the occasion.

Make A Feather Halloween Tree

Germans started to make their Christmas trees out of feather because they didn’t want to chop down real trees.
Now they would make these as Christmas trees but by just changing up the colors you can make a Halloween tree and decorate it with plastic skulls and pumpkin heads.
 The process of making these really cool trees is pretty simple and I am going to explain it to you here.
What you will need
1- Orange  feathers
2- Thick wire that you can bend but will hold its shape
3- Black floral tape
4- Small Black plastic berries
5- Black crepe paper
6- Paper glue
7- Thin wire for wrapping (about 26 gauge)
8- 3 inch wood cube with a hole drilled in the center to use as a base
First measure out thirteen pieces of the thicker wire.
1 piece – 13 inches (gets 3 inches of feather wrapping)
3 pieces – 5 inches (get 2 inches of feather wrapping)
4 pieces – 6 inches (get 4 inches of feather wrapping)
5 pieces – 9.5 inches (get 5.5 inches of feather wrapping)
The instructions are the same as the ones I give in “How To Make A Feather Tree”.
Now cover each piece with the black floral tape and attaché a plastic berry to the end, these are the branches of your tree. To create the leaves on the branches attach a feather to the end of the branch right under the berry attach the stem of the feather to the branch so that the hairs on the feather start by the berry and go out over the end of the branch. Wrap the feather around the branch so that the feather hairs should fan out to create the leaves. Follow the list above for how many inches of feather wrapping each branch should get.
Bend each branch except for the thirteen inch one, to a ninety degrees angle right at the end of the flower wrapping. Attach the braches to the long straight piece which is the trunk, using the floral tape. The three five inch pieces go directly under the top feather wrapping on the trunk. Then the four pieces get attached three inches under them. And the five pieces three inches under them. Put some glue along the trunk and cover the whole trunk with the black crepe paper. Stand the tree up in the base and you are ready to decorate it.

How To Feather Fletch An Arrow

This is going to be a very simple explanation on how you can feather fletch an arrow.
Professionals will use a rig to do this and some other more complex tools but here I am going to explain how you can do this yourself with basic material you can find around your house.
What you will need
• Some cardboard
• Arrow shafts
• Turkey feathers
• Scissors
• Glue
• 60˚ angle
• Marker
For arrow shafts you can use any straight and thin wooden poles.
If you want to get more professional about it you can read about different wood types and where you can order real wood arrow shafts at http://www.stickbow.com/FEATURES/ARROWMAKING/wood.cfm .
Now first build your rig out of cardboard.
Cut a rectangle four inches wide and twenty inches long.
Bend each end four inches from the end and make a small triangle notch in the center.
Slice a line down the center of the notch one inch down.
Cut another rectangle two inches wide and fifteen inches long.
Make two one inch slices 12 inches apart and attach to the slices in the folded up sections of the other cardboard piece.
Now mark a line at a 60˚ from the upper edge of your newly built rig right from the center of the notch.
Take your turkey feathers and cut them in half down the center of the stem.
Sand down the stem so it should be as flat as possible.
Now attaching the first feather is easy. Place the shaft in the rig, put some glue on the sanded side of the feather stem and attach to the length of the shaft about one inch from the edge.
The second and third feathers just need to be attached 60˚ the first and second.
Use the markings on the rig to space the feathers 60˚ apart.
After you have attached the feathers you can trim them to your desired shape.
Here is a video to show you how the pros do this.

Back To School Feather Backpack

I feel like this post may be just a drop late being that it`s already after the start of the school year. But hey you can still get a new backpack right.

So here you have two pictures of feather bags.

One is not the kind that you would consider a school bag but it`s there to give you an idea of what you can do with the school bag you already have.

Now you can buy this peacock feather print school bag for $25 or you can buy some colorful feathers and turn your backpack into a work of feather art.

Now the secret that I have found to make this super easy is all in the glue that you use.

FABRI-TAC permanent adhesive is the trick you need to simply add beautiful feathers to you backpack.

Feather Skirts For The Club

So what are you going to wear to the club tonight?

Whether it’s a big date or just a night out with the girls need to take some time deciding what to wear out.

Now if you are going out to a club then you need to think differently than if you are going out to a romantic dinner and the opera.

When you are going to the club you want to be able to dance, so more often then not the shorter skirts are going to be the better choice.

Also in my opinion when you go to a club you want to be noticed.

That is unless you are just going to dance you soul out and that’s all you care about.

But even if you are going with a partner you want them to notice you more than the other girls there.

Feather skirts are a great choice to get their attention on you.

Here are four skirts that I think would be perfect to hit the dance floor in.
