Feather Hair Clips

I don't know about anyone else out there, but I absolutely adore feather hair accessories.  Today, I was about to purchase a feather hair accessory and noticed it was $12.  I don't know about anyone out there, but I am on a tight budget and so I decided $12 was too much.  I went to A.C. Moore today and found that for about $18 for 5 hair clips.  So far, I have made 3.

I only bought 2 package of feathers (white & natural browns), a mini hot glue gun, a pack of glue sticks. 5 package of hair clips, one piece of felt and one package of med. sized rhinestones.  I know I'm only going to get 5 clips which have about the same color scheme, but now that I have the hot glue gun & sticks (the most expensive parts) the rest of the clips will probably end up being about $5 for 5 clips.  Which is a bargain compared to $12 a pop.

Moral of the story: If you like something and you just can't seem to spring for it, try to do it yourself.  Who knows, maybe you'll end up with a new hobby & some really cute accessories. =)
