Buy Peacock Down

Peacock feathers have been used for centuries in costumes and for decoration. They represent good luck or bad luck, depending on which tradition you follow, but they are also a beautiful and versatile addition to a wide array of craft projects.


Instructions


1. Decide upon which crafts you will be making. The type of craft or costume will dictate how many peacock feathers you need, what length they need to be and what coloration you want.


2. Check out different online retailers. While you can still find peacock feathers at some craft stores, it is becoming cheaper and easier to purchase them online. There are a lot of different retailers on the Internet offering different types of peacock feathers; a couple of links have been provided below.


3. Check out the retailer's return policy. No one wants to get stuck with broken or damaged peacock feathers; make sure there is a return policy offered in case this happens.


4. Order the correct length needed for your peacock feathers. A good rule of thumb from carpentry applies here as well; measure twice, cut once.
