Peacock earrings

Peacock Earrings

This  peacock earrings inspired from a magazine. So I quickly got a pair of peacock feathers for some bucks. For chennaities, you could get these feathers from T.nagar streets. 

How to do:

A pair of peacock feathers or any other feathers you desire

a thread 

earrings hoop- 2 ( I used the old hoops from other earrings)

So, if you are about not to use the earrings no more then collect the beads or hoops. Recycle it.

If you need a short one, trim the edges, but I did a nice cut for peacock feathers. Because I don't want them to be long. 

Bend the peacock feathers end, insert the hoop and tie the knot with the help of threads. Gorgeous peacock earrings is ready to use.

Paint the pots with enamel painting as base. ( I have given white coating as base)

Now you can paint using fabric or acrylic or oil paints on pots.

I mixed enamel white and watercolor tube purple to get the baby pink color.

Finally, I varnished the pots.
