Bird is the Word

This Halloween was time for something new. After browsing Pinterest I came across these masks made of crepe paper.  Real feathers seemed like much more fun. So I headed to a few craft stores and picked up the goods.

Started with these. I couldn't find any of the fancy long nosed masks at any local stores so I improvised and used two layers of painted card stock for the beak. Then organized the feathers into groups and heated up the glue gun.

Put on layers of feathers.

Picked out some beads to compliment the colors in the feathers and cover the glued feathers around the eyes....

And ended up with this. Timber and Tim were nice enough to model if for me. Gigi was not interested. Let's hope she will wear her costume I am sewing for her!

Pictures of the pups' costumes coming soon.
