Easy Feather Purse

This was a guest post over at Jen's super awesome  
Blog ,Social Salutations, HERE .
Just Re- Posting it on my blog.
Today,  I am going to show you how I made this, oh so fun, feather purse from a $5.00 feather duster, a  purse, and some hot glue.   Sound fun?   Well let's go do it. I did a little research first and found that the great, Jenni Radosevich of the I Spy DIY, Blog
did one,   also Keira from the awesome blog
A Pretty Penny,
did this cool feather clutch. 
First, I  purchased my very on feather duster for the grand total of $5.00, I already had a brown suede purse that I receive from E, my researcher.( Thank you E:) and I pulled out my trusty, Hot Glue Gun! (oh how I love that thing.).  This craft was really fun to me and.. super easy,  and all I  needed was some quite time with my favorite music and a little space to sort though my feathers.  


Well Lets get started.

Tutorial
Things you Need
1. Feather Duster, Or Feathers
2. Hot Glue Gun.
3. Some Velvet Ribbon or Something to go across the top of the purse to cover the quills.
4. Old Purse you want to Re-Style.
5. Good music to listen to and Patience.

I sorted my feathers by size.




 I worked in 2 inch sections, so I could take my time.  I also made sure to line up my feathers across the bottom to make them even.



I trimmed the top quills, and checked to see if any of feathers were loose and  needed to be glued down in different spots.


I used some leftover Suede I had to cover the quills, But a Pretty Velvet Ribbon would look awesome too.

And Taaa Daaaa!
All done!

So excited to wear this little baby out.
I told you I was Feather Obsessed!:) 

End Product Video:)

I Hope you all  have a Fantastic Day.
