How To Make A Feather & Star Headpiece | Rockstars and Royalty

Today I'm making the headpiece to go with the 'Sunset in France' gown. I start with an idea for a design and let it evolve as I see where the materials I have work best as it comes together. Subscribe for couture sewing tutorials and inspiration.

I forgot to say in the video that I ended up gluing the extra starts at the top on with the glue gun because I couldn't get them to hold with the E6000. You can see the glue gun glue from the back, but as this piece will only be used for photo shoots or catwalk shows, it doesn't matter too much. Show and shoot pieces don't have to be as 'finished' as work for clients, and often they end up being made in a rush!

I love your work. You are so creative and working so fast. What kind of feather are you using? Thanks in advance.

[@RockstarsandRoyalty]

I think these ones are coque hackle feathers and coque tail feathers. I buy my feathers from feather.com.au/

Really pretty! Reminds me of the Paramount logo, haha! Can't wait for the reveal!

[@RockstarsandRoyalty]

I thought it looked like the Paramount logo too. Or the European Union flag!

I LOVE this ! Stunning!! I did think at one point, before you put the stars on the curve, where they joined at the top, there was a little hook, you were going to put a moon dangling down ! lol I had an incident with a hot glue gun & small feathers a couple of years back,but in my defence i was trying to get them all to stick together,then stay & stick in one of those clear decoration balls,without the glue showing & sticking GGGRRR( I was putting a yellow silk rose in as well as larger white feathers, it was a memorial Christmas bauble for family as we'd lost my little brother a couple of years earlier) ,lets just say I was a bit of a mess by the end of making 10 of them!! haha BUT they came out good in the end! This really is fab!! is it heavy ? Much love & stay safe Jacq from the U.K

Thank you. I did think about dangling something from the top but decided I like the clean line oft the curve of stars on their own. Your memorial baubles sound lovely. Feathers are hard to stick together with hot glue without either attaching them to yourself or having the glue show through the fine parts of the feathers! I've had many hot glue incidents. I constantly burn myself trying to hold stuff in place while the glue dries! The headpiece isn't too heavy at all. The stars are pretty light and I find that using the double headband instead of a single on helps distribute the weight on my head a bit. 💗

Very clever and pretty! You have such a great talent to dream up these things. It's amazing!
