Duct Tape Feather Earrings
Materials:
*Duct tape in the color(s) of your choice
*Marker
*Scissors
*2 ear wires
*Round nosed pliers
*Flat nosed pliers
*Needle, safety pin, or similar implement
Directions:
*Cut off a strip of duct tape about twice as long as you would like your earrings to be and carefully fold in half, so that the sticky sides of the two halves touch.
*Repeat with a second piece of duct tape.
*Draw or trace a feather shape onto each of the two duct tape pieces, then cut out.
*Decorate the feathers as you wish.
*Cut slits into the duct tape to create the feathery look, being careful not to cut all the way through. Also, once you reach the top of the duct tape, leave a small portion at the top center uncut.
*Using a needle, poke a small hole through the top center of each earring.
*Using the pliers, open up the base of one of the ear wire and slide it through the hole in one of the earrings, then close the base of the ear wire. Repeat for the second earring.
