DIY Feather Headband

Like many ladies, I have been seeking out one of those sweet little feather headbands, but haven't been able to bring myself to pay $40 for something I can easily make myself. It's simple, really, and it only took me about an hour to make two.
What You'll Need:-feathers: can be found at a craft store (or pulled from an old feather duster or boa if you're feeling thrifty)
-felt
-skinny headbands
-glue
-scissors
-needle and thread

First, cut a teardrop shape of felt that's about as large as you want the feather part to be. Cut an identical shape as this one and sew them together for added stiffness. (sorry about the crappy quality of the picture)

Cover the surface of the felt with glue and begin layering the feathers. Continue dotting the surface of the feathers with glue and pressing on your next layer.

Build these layers until you get the shape and fullness you would like. Wait for the glue to dry and then attach your feather piece to the headband. Sew near the base of the piece and then pass the thread around the underside of the headband, sewing back up through the feather piece and continue so you are trapping the headband between the thread and the feather piece. Keep your stitches tight, and it's probably best to go back down the headband once you've reached the top. Once the headband is secure, cover the stitches with a smaller feather. And voila! Your headband is complete.
