DIY Peacock Necklace


Feathers are so BoHo and such an easy way to add a pop of color to any outfit!
 We got a flower arrangement a few weeks back that had a few peacock feathers in it (it looked GREAT, def a DIY next time you give flowers).
 When the flowers wilted I made sure to grab the feathers before I threw the bouquet out. The colors just amaze me!

Don’t feel all that color crazy? Spray it with some silver paint and get this look.:






Snip it!


Trim it!


Hot wire it!
 (not actually though, but twist wire around making it possible to add it to a chain.)

Last but not least, loop it!! hang it on your fav chain and you are ready to go!
