So I was stalking this headband over at charmschooldesign’s Etsy shop

but I really, really didn’t want to pay $32 for it. Now, I know, I spend money on silly things all the time, but I wondered if I could do it myself.

So I checked out some blogs and found this one to be pretty insightful. It didn’t look so hard. And it definitely wouldn’t cost thirty stupid bucks.

I went to Michael’s and was floored. Those awesome gathered feathers already came that way.

That’s right. No trimming. No arranging.

So for about $3 I hotglued the shit out of those feathers and slapped ‘em on headbands. Done and done, my friends.

My “fancy” one.

My “everyday” one, complete with sassy pose.
