Equipment
- Sewing Machine
- Sharp small scissors
Supplies
- Leather Scrap - Soft and fairly thin leather scrap {think selvage ~ if you have an old leather handbag wallet, coat, etc., save that leather for a craft like this}
- Gold Craft Paint {optional}
- Paintbrush
- French wire for earrings
Instructions
- 1. Draw the outline of a feather on a piece of cardboard and cut out.
- 2. Trace pattern onto the wrong side of the leather.
- 3. Use small sharp scissors to make fringes.
- 4. Sew a straight stitch down the left of center then back up to the top of the 'leather feather'.
- 5. Make a small hole at the top of the earring and run ring through this hole and then add the french wire.
- 6. If desired, brush a light coating of the gold paint on the bottom one-third of your earrings. *Note that once this is dry you will need to gently separate the fringes.
