Hi everyone! I am so excited to announce the launch of my new series on Craft called Corinne’s Craft Closet. For the first video I show you some easy wedding decor projects that I am incorporating at my wedding.
Don’t worry, I’ll still be doing Craftovision! I am doing only one video a month with Craft and will continue doing regular videos on Craftovision. I apologize for not being able to do a Craftovision video this week. With the launch of the new show on Craft I had a lot on my plate. But there is still plenty of craftiness for this week so don’t despair!

This video didn’t get posted on the blog last week because I went out of town and was crazy busy before I left…it totally slipped my mind. But in case you were wondering why there was no how-to last week, this vid explains. New how-to coming your way tomorrow though!!!! xoxo c

How-to Make Sexy Feather Earrings
To make your feather earrings you will need:
- craft glue
- a pair of wire cutters
- two pairs of plier type things
- jewelry wire
- two jump rings
- two earring hooks
- 4 sets of feathers, each containing 4 feathers
* Make sure to use recycled feathers, like from an old feather boa, or cruelty-free feathers from a seller like The Happy Rooster.
Take one set of feathers and glue them together one by one. Make sure you are stacking them all with the wrong side facing down. Repeat with the other 3 sets of feathers and let dry.
Now, bend one end of your wire.
Insert one set of feathers and wrap the wire carefully and tightly around the feathers stopping about 1/4 of a centimeter from the tip.
Cut the wire and use your pliers to tuck the end of the wire in so it doesn’t catch on things.
Repeat this for the other 3 sets of feathers.
Take one of your jump rings, open it up and put two sets of feathers and one earring hook on it.
Close the jump ring and repeat those steps for the second earring.
And you are done! You’ve got yourself some sexy new earrings!

So excited about the first episode! You’re going to love it. Went back to my roots of making videos…I cannot help it, I love to have a variety of different segments thus creating more work for myself. A wise man once told me that I make things too difficult. That is true. But the difficulty is worth it when you are proud of your work. Each video is like a little art project for me.
Below are a couple pictures I took from Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk last night. Check out the first episode this Tuesday (!) for all the stuff we saw, an awesome how-to (top secret) and an interview with a very special guest. Whoot!
