A pen and a PLUME

(Plume is a fancy word for feather)
Okay...we are currently on a FANCY NANCY CRAZE (I mean who isn't?)I figured we could use a little fancy in our life....enter our plumey pens (I might have gotten carried away.)
I just used regular bic pins!!!

I started with a rainbow pen
just  hot glued (Hot glue is a fancy word for the best adhesive ever invented) them in order of the rainbow

And wrapped ribbon around the pen

Then my son wanted one....and his favoritte color is GREEN

I just hot glued the feathers right to the side of the pen and wrapped ribbon over it.

Then I knew I needed a pink one.

But no pink feathers....I had some tulle (what fancy nancy wouldn't have some tulle laying around?)

Cut them all into squares

 

took the corners and put them together

hot glued the bottom

waited for the glue to cool until it was tacky...then I twisted it so it was nice and small.

I glued all these seperate pieces and then glued them all together

and I covered the pen in velvet ribbon (velvet is fancy word for super soft)

I hot glued it right to the center of the tulle

pretty fancy

Why stop at one pink one? I used little cork screw curled ribbon

225 degrees for 25 min cool completely

unravel and cut up

and then guess what? you HOT GLUE it all together!

j'adore!

and then I wanted a long one like a feather.

I used fabric on the pen

and then I used the same fabric on a stick

and I layed out the feathers from biggest to smallest and hot glued it to the back of the stick

And I had a styrofoam ball that I stuck on the end of the pen....

and hot glued feathers all around.

I hot glued white feathers down first and overlapped with black so they were totally fluffy...but when I took pictures it looks like my poor little pen has a bald spot.

Pretty fancy
