In our last Daddy ‘Do hairstyle, Four-Strand Ponytail, my husband showed a feather headband that we had made. We received so many comments asking us how to make these headbands, so we decided to film a tutorial for you all.
I first bought one off of Etsy a year ago for between $16-20, and I loved it… but one day while browsing through Hobby Lobby, I saw that they sold pre-glued feather patches. I was sooooo excited! And they were listed at $3.99 each, however I bought them on sale for half that price. I have since seen that Michael’s also sells them.
I then bought a 3-pack of wire headbands that were listed at $2.99, but were also on sale for half price. The felt material I already had, so all we needed was a hot-glue gun and a pair of scissors…
I recognize that feathers as accessories may not be ideal for everyone, but they certainly are a trend right now.
I figure that I had less that $4 into each headband, which is far less expensive than $16 or so online! Plus, it can be a fun craft to do with your darling daughters! I now have six different headband styles that we have made.
{As I taught my my best friend Jenny how to make these headbands, she showed me how to make cute feather earrings. Feel free to check out her tutorial on YouTube!}
Items Needed: Feather patch, scissors, felt, simple wire headband, hot-glue gun.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium {with parental supervision}
If you felt that this tutorial was helpful, please do let us know! Happy Hairdoing!

So helpful, thank you so much Mindy. Can’t wait to get going to the craft store.
Terrific!! I made 3 headbands with feathers on them. Since I was at Hobby Lobby I looked around and decided to make some flower and butterfly clips to hook on headbands. What Fun!!! Thanks so much!
Hey! I love those headbands! On “Do’s to Choose” website the bump-it thing with the bangs I couldn’t figure out how to do it with just the pictures so if you would do a video I would be eternally grateful!!!!!!!!!! (: Thanks!!!!
can u post some syles that expiecially u can do with these super cute headbands!!! Thanks
That is super cool. I can not wait try.
hello! uhhhh…. on the “do’s to choose” blog the bump-it hairstyle i couldnt figure out by pictures so if you would do a video on that i would be eternally grateful. (: thanks!!! p.s. love the headbands!!!!!
So cute! My girls actually hate to have their hair done so most days they just wear headbands. On Sundays though I put my foot down and make them hold still for 10 minutes while I torture them. And of course I get most of my inspiration from your site. Thanks!
Hey Mindy – I went right out to Michael’s today and they didn’t have squat at my location! 🙁 I will be making a trip to Hobby Lobby asap! THANKS!
Thanks for sharing,Mindy! Those are uber cute!! Is the red feather that you used in your other hair tutorial a pre-made feather clump as well and just glued to a clip? Or did you glue all the feathers by hand? That clip is super cute too! I can’t wait to get to the craft store! 🙂
Also why do you call your kids DD? I know you don’t want to mention names, Just wondering…
whoops I meant on my sisters hair.
A huge trend right now is similar–feather extensions! Two of my girls just got one. I have 5 girls and 1 boy, so I was looking for a way to do it myself for the other girls, since it is $10 a feather. Do you know of a good place to buy them? I’ve looked a little on-line, but there is so much of it out there and some only sell to salons, so it is a little confusing.
Could you please post some hairstyles that could also work for thick hair? I tried some of your styles on her hair, but it just didn’t work as well. I love all the ideas and I think I will try some of them on my friend!!!
That is super cute!!!
WOW that’s so simple and it looks great!
Hope I can find good looking feathers in Holland.
That’s really smart, thanks for sharing your secrets with us. I will most definately see your friend’s page ☺.
