How to Make a Peacock Headband

Make a peacock headband with a real peacock feather.

Peacock feathers make the peacock arguably one of the most beautiful birds in the world. The rich, vibrant colors in the feathers make them perfect for adding splashes of natural material and colors onto fashion accessories and clothing items. Create your own peacock feathered headband to display the beautiful feathers in your own hair.

Things You'll Need

• Full-length peacock feather
• Black satin-covered headband
• 4 small rubber bands
• Needle and black thread

Instructions

1. Lay a peacock feather over a black satin-covered headband and wrap four rubber bands around it and the headband, spaced evenly, to secure it in place.

2. Cut the excess length of the feather with wire cutters. Scissors can work, but the wire cutters will make a cleaner cut.

3. Thread a needle with black thread and knot the end.

4. Poke the needle into the satin fabric and over the feather. Sew around the feather and back into the satin fabric several times until you reach the opposite end of the headband. Knot the end and cut the excess thread.
