Feathers
Here is how to put feathers on your costume. There are two diffrent ways-both are very easy to do!
Using a feather boa
- Get the feather boa you want, in the color(s) you want.
- Cut the boa into however long or short you want it.
- Sew the ends(not to the costume, or together). just so the featers-or anything else-doesn't come off
- Sew on to your costume
If your using this method and want feathers to your waist, measure it from your waist to your sholder, then cut and sew.
Craft feathers(meaning the loose feathers you can find in craft stores)
- Find the feathers you want to use(I used black and brown feathers for the fake birds-came out nice), in the color(s) you want
- Sew the feathers in clumps on the sholders, and where your armpit is. Gradually reduce the number of feathers that you use to your waist(if you want it down there).
- Sew the feathers around your elbow, if you want it there.
- Sew all feathers securely, so they won't fall out when, you have the costume on.
