So I love peacock feathers, they are just super pretty! Anyway a while back I found these: http://www.etsy.com/listing/36177899/leather-peacock-feather-earrings?ref=v1_other_1 on Etsy. Super cute, but thirty dollars is more than I’m willing to spend on earrings. So I subbed the leather for felt and voila! Pretty peacock earrings for next to nothing!

    Cut out the four shapes from the template.

  3. Small cimg0082 1279087409

    Trace each shape onto each piece of felt, twice. (NOTE: For each of the second shapes I flipped the stencil so the earrings would be opposites.)

  4. Small cimg0087 1279087462

    Cut out the shapes and assemble each earring.

  5. Small cimg0089 1279087486

    Use your hot glue gun to attach the shapes, starting from the bottom up.

  6. Small cimg0093 1279087506

    Once everything is glued, open your larger jump ring with your pliers and stab it through the top of the earring. Close the jump ring and then use the smaller jump ring to attach the earring to the finding. Repeat for the second earring.
