Duct Feathers!!!

  Here are some super cute duct tape feathers!
  They can be pinned, glued, hung, or taped onto whatever your heart desires.


You will need...
duct tape (I use duck brand)
a craft knife (scissors will work too)
a ruler
and I pinned my feathers to my hair so I needed a bobby pin. You can use whatever works for you.

First, cut a piece of duct tape that is about 6 in. long.

Then fold the piece over (sticky sides together) so that you have a 3 in. piece of tape.

Trace and cut out a leaf-like shape...

 Next, cut slits at an angle along the sides.

On both sides.




Then, cut out a few random slits. Don't try to make the even or symmetrical.




                          
Next, count about 3-4 (depending on how wide or thin your slits are) slits up from the bottom of the feather and cut straight up so you end up with a little stem.



Almost done, now take your feather, and wiggle it, and twist it, and twirl it into the shape you want.
I wanted a little twist on mine, you can see what it looks like in the picture above.
Now do whatever you wish with your duct feather. You can fix it to a headband, or pin it to a blouse, or use it as a bookmark, or whatever. Comment and let us know what you did with yours!
