Tribal feather earrings

Today I have mixed jewellery skills with sewing and card-making skills to make these tribal feather earrings.

1. What will you need:                                                  Time taken:  15 minutes
- Two eye pins                      
- Two hook earrings
- White felt
- A range of inks
- Sellotape/ masking tape
- Scissors
- Some form of gloss

2. Using the downloadable template cut out two feathers from white felt. Then mark off a triangle using tape.

3. With your choice of ink, cover the marked out area, I recommend gold or silver for a more tribal appeal, next mark out two stripes on the outside and again cover in ink, I recommend a darker colour.

4. Repeat this the opposite way then colour the rest of the feather with a lighter colour to complete the tribal effect.

5. Cut small slits each side of the felt piece.

6. Add gloss to strengthen the feather and pierce a hold in the top of the feather using a needle, this is for the eye pin. Leave the gloss to dry.

7. Add the eye pin and the earring hook, and your done!
