DIY Bridal Peacock Garter

Ladies and gentleman, spring is here. Say hello to feathers, flowers, sunshine, and wedding season. Something about that fresh air just gets our creative sides buzzing. What better way to take advantage of that amazing energy than a fun, festive DIY project?

Now a Bridal Garter is something you can personalize however you would like it – as much flair or as much simplicity as you desire. You can also pick whatever color scheme you desire. Personally, I can’t seem to get away from the stylish peacock feather theme. And can you blame me?

Now, how, you must be wondering, can I make this gorgeous garter on my own?

Well I’ll tell you.

All you need is a feather (preferably peacock!), some ribbon, some rhinestones, a cheap plain garter (they go for about 5 dollars), and a good ol’ glue gun.

After that, the fun is all on you! Place the feather how you’d like it, and secure it by tying the ribbon around a couple times. Then attach rhinestones using the glue gun, and, viola! A handmade, completely original, completely fabulous, peacock feathered garter made by YOU.
