Things you need for this DIY:
*17 inches of wire
*some chain
*cruelty-free feathers (if you can't find cruelty-free, skip the feathers)
*pliers
*a needle
Total time:
30 mins
Total cost:
$4 (excluding pliers)
These ear wraps have been popping up all over the place and I love how they look. I'm allergic to most metals which really limits my earring wearing options so I figured I needed a few of these.
I took the 17 inch long piece of wire and bent the end over about three inches (enough length to wrap around my ear).
I bent it to the right shape.
Then I bent the rest of the wire back towards the hook and wrapped it around itself making little loops.
Finished.
Then I poked a hole through the stem of the feather with my needle.
I threaded the wire through...
...and wrapped it around.
I added a bunch of chain and that was it!
Super easy.

Absolutely beautiful, but be aware that feathers from migratory birds are illegal to have in possession, no less wear. As beautiful as it is, and even though the feather was likely just picked up off the street, you could get in a helluva lot of trouble if you were to be reported.
ReplyDeleteJust be sure you use a domestic turkey, chicken, or pigeon feather...you should be fine.
:)
All my feathers are chicken, turkey, geese or emu feathers.
ReplyDeleteI only buy feathers from local no-kill farms or online from this seller:

ReplyDeleteWhat size wire did you use for this project?
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!!
ReplyDelete@FRENCHY, I used 24 gauge but I'm sure 20 or 22 would work fine too. Whatever you are comfortable with.
