Gold Glitter Feather DIY

Tried another little DIY, thanks to my friend Jen at Red Sole Diary. She saw this DIY on gold glitter feathers and thought it would be something I’d be interested in trying – or maybe she was trying to see if I would go insane with yet another DIY, or perhaps get drunk trying?  But as usual, Jen knows what I like, and she was right – it was easy!  I swear there was no drinking or pain involved (mental or otherwise) doing this DIY..

Do this:  Hit up Michael’s or some other crafty place to buy some cheap feathers, glitter and gold paint. These things are not expensive and there is none of that  “running to 3 different crafty places” like usual. Thank god.

Getting it done: I will say that you should us a brush to put the gold paint onto the feather. The whole “dipping” the feather into the paint (as mentioned in blog link above)  is messy and makes it all f-‘d up. So just grab a small paint brush, slap some gold shit paint on the tip of the feather (both sides), dump  sprinkle some glitter on each side and then let it dry.

Tip: You will need something to stick the feathers into to dry, my solution was an empty, upended, beer box. Classy I know. I just stuck them under the flaps so that the gold tips were hanging off the box into the air, and let them dry.

Trurth:  Easy as shit. And you know I don’t lie about this DIY insanity…
