Fabulous Feather Earrings!

Ok, so your bird molts and some people may look at it as a mess and more to clean up...but an opportunist like myself looks at it as a way to make accessories!  Save your birds beautiful feathers!  There are so many things you can do with them, but my favorite is to make earrings!

It's so super simple and they are totally cute too!  If you have friends with birds you can swap feathers so you can work with more colors, and get a pair to match every outfit.  Come on bird nerds, go to the dark DIY side with me....

Supplies:

• Feathers, cleaned (2-4 feathers, preferably matching so you get pairs)
• 8mm Crimps (found in jewelry section of a craft/hobby store)
• Wire Earring hooks (found in jewelry section of a craft/hobby store)
• Needle Nose pliers

Directions:

Pick out your feathers, pair them up or however you like and crimp them in the 8mm crimps using your needle nose pliers.  Now attach them to the earring hooks...Tadaaaa...new earrings!
