Creative Uses for Hair Feathers

Hair feather extensions have many attributes that have made them a must have accessory.  They come in countless color combinations, textures and patterns.  If your style is sophisticated, fun or you see yourself as a fashion trend setter, hair feathers have a way of fitting perfectly into your needs.  Not only do feathers come in different colors, but feather extensions are made in many different feathers from chicken to peacock. 

You may have thought that besides a cool hair accessory that feather extensions had little more to offer.  It turns out that is not the case.  Thanks to crafters and creativity, hair feathers have more possibilities than their intended update for hair.  If you love feathers then here are some ideas that you must try.

Lamp Shade Update- Purchase feather extensions wholesale for this dramatic update.  Make a boring lampshade spectacular by covering the entire shade in feather extensions.  It will take some patience and dedication but rooster feather extensions will look amazing livening up your tabletop lamp.  Leave about an inch of feather overhang to act as fringe.  Be sure to keep feathers only on the outside of the lamp only to protect from a possible fire.  You may add a trim of color coordinated ribbon the top of the lamp shade to hide any metal or plastic attachments that would normally be connected to hair.

Ornaments- Whether it is time for the holidays and glass ornaments are a necessity, or you are creating a year round display, hair feathers can come in handy.  Purchase clear glass ornament globes, unscrew the lid with the hook attachment, and place a bright feather extension inside.  Something brightly colored like a peacock feather will make a big impact for a single feather.  For a year round look, hang feathered globes from the ceiling from thin string to make a space special.  Although, your new eye-catching piece won’t illuminate like a chandelier it will definitely call attention to an ignored corner or above a piece of furniture.

Vase Fillers- Vases are an item that every homeowner should have.  Whether you have one stored from an old assortment of flowers or you bought one as a home decoration, any vase can benefit from hair feathers.  By placing a narrow vase within a larger vase you may create a beautiful decoration that will also hold living flowers.  Between the two vases, place layers of hair feathers and craft feathers.  Inside the narrow vase interior you may place a flower bouquet and water to keep them from drying out. Ordinary grocery store arrangements will not seem so…ordinary, once you place them in your new vase.
