About
Inspired by Cher
After chopping all my hair off I have developed a new found love affair with dangly earrings. I have also been going through my expansive collection of craft supplies and trying to get rid of some things to make room for others. One thing I have far to much of is beads and feathers. I was also dying to make obnoxiously dangly earrings. So I took the feathers and the beads and voila! I created an earring that Cher (in full native american headdress - of course) would be proud of! Hope you enjoy!

Step 1
1. Cut six pieces of embroidery floss (3 pieces for each earring)
2. Select the feathers you want for each earing and group them into sets of 2 or three feathers
3. Take your groups and wrap a thread of embroidery floss around each group and tie it off. Paint a coat of clear nail polish over the tied embroidery floss to seal it. -
Step 2
Take your beads and string the embroidery floss. You want the feathers to sit at different levels so each thread should have a different amount of beads. My longest thread was around 20 beads, then I had did about 12 beads, and then about 5. Keep track of the amount of beads you use so the second set can be the same length.
