Feather earrings are a fashionable and simple way to add some Boho-inspired style and Native American flare to any ensemble. Simple and easy to make Feather earrings are a great match with a variety of outfits and could even be worn multiple times!
To make earrings with feathers, start by cutting two wire pieces that are slightly longer than your desired length and use circular nosepliers for bending them into the shape of a loop.
For simple feather earrings, two pairs of pliers are necessary; one pair should include a plier with a small-nose, and the second pair is used as an additional hand. For the first pair, hold your headpin about an inch above the top of the crimp bead and then use your fingertips to bend its straight end so it sits flat against feathers.
After the feathers are put together in a neat stack then gently close and open the loop on the top of your headpin using tiny pliers prior to sliding your the earring hooks on the top and admiring your work!
