Started with the cardboard frame cut in an
oval shape. Hot glued the metal wire for
support and then upholstered one side. Glue black ribbon to the bottom of both sides so that the final product can be tied to the masqueraders back

| Found in the "framing" aisle of Home Depot |
upholstered side
Glued about 50 blue & black rooster feathers
Glue
one yard of yellow feather trim with the feathers facing down. 
Glued one yard of black feather trim with the feathers
facing up. 
Glue
one yard of gold trim chain for finish it off.
I decided to make the collar that I’m wearing slightly
different. I went with a lot less
feathers, but bigger feathers. Ignore
that one feather that is just doing his own dayym thing. I named him Ted and I’ll deal with Ted later!

ReplyDeleteHow do you get it to stay on? I think I saw that you glued ribbon on and I assume u tie it at the back. Could you go into a bit more detail with that please? Great blog btw...
