Feather Centerpieces For thanksgiving

A feather centerpiece is a great addition to the festive tablescape that you have planned for this coming Thanksgiving Day meal.

Especially because some of the main focus of the holiday is on one of our feather friends it is even more so appropriate.

From the four centerpieces that I am going to feature here they all use pheasant tail feathers with one of the following; flowers, vegetables of the holiday, plants and a mixture of all three.

Celebrities – Feather Halloween Costumes 2013

Few things are more exiting then to see what kind of crazy feather costumes the stares wore out on Halloween.

I am sure that there are a lot more out there that I didn't find, but here I bring to you the ones that I did.

First up we have Adam Lambert dressed up as a vampire genie wearing a cool turban decked out with feathers.

Next we have yet another vampire, Kelly Brook all bloody wearing a nice white feather hat.

Still keeping with the feather head pieces we have Aubrey O’day dressed up as a Native American chief.

Last on my list is the “How I Met Your Mother” star Alyson Hannigan, wearing a feather buttonhole to go with her leprechaun costume.

Did you spot any other celebs wearing feather costumes this Halloween?

Let us know if you did. 

How To Make A Raven Costume

Making the raven costume is simple in theory but requires a bit of work.

The most important feature of the raven costume is the black feather.

The more of your body that you are able to cover with them the better your raven costume will be.

Martha Stewart has some very detailed instruction on how to make a simple raven costume without needing to do any sowing.

Her costume consists of a feather bib, puff, feather wrist bands, long black nails and a beak.

See detailed instructions here.

Then of course there is the option of going all out and really trying to go feather crazy.

You can try and put together a crow costume like Heidi Klum. Here she is dressed up in a scary black crow outfit.

How can you make such a costume?

Simple, take any fitted black shirt and cover it with black feathers.

If you can use a turtle neck that would be even better.

Start from the top and using a hot glue gun attach the feathers in a upright position all around the shirt.

Using a feather fringe will make it even easier. 

The feathers at the top should be covering the area of the neck above the shirt.

Each feather should be glued just right to cover the base of the one above it.

Once your shirt is done all you need to do is a blackfeather mask to finish off the job.

Beak and long black nails are an added bonus.

Let us know how it comes out!
