Rained in & feeling feathery

It rained (is raining) buckets today...lotsa flooding in Ok today.

For about a year I've had this bag of feathers and nothing to do with them so I got the idea to make a clip out of them.  I'll probably do white next.  If I had peacock feathers, that would be so cute too but I didn't want to let this bag go to waste...

I just glued them together like that with a glue gun (a glue gun that was my moms when I was a baby or something)  I just glued a clip onto the back and- voila.  Easiest clip craft ever.

I just clipped it in my hair while it was down and I thought it added a lot- I don't know about you, but I feel so plain with my hair just straight and down.  Then I decided to add a wire headband under it, and it was like I had a whole new headband.  I also tried it with my hair half up- which is pretty much my favorite way to wear my hair.

There ya go!  Three different ways to wear this simple homemade feather clip.

....and by the way, I have so many good times to blog about but all the pictures!  I just don't have the energy to sort through them all.  One of these days.
