Getting Crafty

Reliving (not really) the 20’s!

So, a few weeks ago I received an order (a big order considering I’m one person running this show) for 60 20’s style feather headpieces to be used in a team meeting for a local large company. I was asked to create 5 each of 12 different colors. And, I will be creating matching fabric bands to go around fedoras for the men.

Here is a collage of the headpieces…They have been so much fun to create (with the exception of my sewing room looking like there was a rainbow bird fight)!

BAM headbands

And this is one of my favorites (I like several, but I am partial to this one).

I am very pleased with the feathers I purchased from FeatherStore.com. You can find their store here; their blog here; and find them on Facebook here. ย The quality of their feathers is so much better than what you can find at your local craft store. ย I did have an issue with them shipping the wrong item the first time (received boas instead of individual plumes, but they cleared it up right away! ย I will definitely buy from them again!

    my daughter is in college, and they are having a 20s party. She asked me what she should wear on her head and I told her to take a look at your site and this page. She then told me that they have now going out and purchased some products to make similar headbands. I’m not sure if they will come out quite as nice as yours but at least she has something beautiful to try to copy. I just want to say Thank You, thank you, thank you!

  5. Those are the cutest headbands that I have ever seen. Although I know it is hard work, your pocketbook will love it. I only hope that you were given sufficient notice in which to make these.

    1. I was given quite a bit of notice, and just broke down the order to do a limited number per night and still work on other projects. Thanks for the compliment.

  6. Very cute! the 20s did have some great fashon/accessories ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Yes they did!! Their fashion sense at that time was quite amazing.

  7. Oh, the headbands are just the cutest thing ever! I love all the colors. If this were the 20’s they would sell out!

    1. They are great for parties too.

  8. Lol, rainbow bird fight! How exciting to have such a big order! And those headbands look awesome!

    1. Thank you so much!
