Marabou To Hair Bows

Add marabou feathers to a hair bow for a unique and fun finishing touch.


Hair bows are a popular fashion accessory for women, young girls, and even newborn babies. Marabou feathers, often found on marabou feather boas and worn for special events, are often associated with playfulness and femininity, and can be the perfect addition to any hair bow accessory. Whether you buy your hair bows or make them yourself, you can add a unique and fun finishing touch to your bows with some marabou feathers.


Instructions


1. Clip the hair bow onto a piece of newspaper, fabric, or other item to secure. This helps hold the hair bow in place and leave your hands free while you work.


2. Apply a small amount of fabric glue or glue with a hot glue gun on the area of the bow you want to place the feather. Marabou feathers are quite lightweight and delicate, and applying glue directly to the feather can be difficult and messy.


3. Place a feather on the glue and hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure proper adhesion.


4. Continue adding feathers until you achieve the desired look. Deciding where to place the feathers and how many to use is completely personal preference; you can cover just the top or bottom edge, or the entire front of the bow with feathers. You can add feathers to the back as well, but this part of the bow will be covered when you clip it into your hair.


5. Repeat on as many bows as desired.
