Need help on Ostrich feather centerpieces

This is a pretty good tutorial. She also mentioned where she bought the materials toward the bottom. http://shannonberrey.com/_blog/Shannon_Berrey_Design_Blog/post/How_to_make_feather_centerpieces/

Thanks Wendy!! Oh, I didn't even think of the holder! Damn Lol I know..I'm trying to look for these feathers everywhere that won't cost me so much. The vases I found for a good price. I have 12 centerpieces to make. How many feathers did you have to use and do you remember what size you bought? Do I need some smaller ones too? I was thinking of using a rhinestone mesh on the vases...not sure if that'd cover the holder?

Awesome! Thank you Emily!! I'll take a look now!

They are super expensive! I was going for that at first but changed my mind when I saw the price tag. Prepare to spend about $200 per centerpiece to be safe. Also, you will need the 15"-20" feathers for it to look right.

Emily - the tutorial is exactly what I needed. Thank you! I was actually looking at save on crafts too. Thanks to that I will not use them.

Thanks Promike. I know...I'm seeing these prices and I honestly thought it'd be cheaper than a floral centerpiece, but, I don't think so now. I just love the look though!

Okay got it. I wasn't sure if hobby lobby had them or maybe Michaels? I rather get them in person so, I can check them all myself. Should I get small ones too or did you just buy the one size?

That looks great Rosemary!! Exactly the look I want! The 12-14in look great in it! I wanted to order from eBay but was a little nervous too. I see though that it worked out for you, so, maybe I'll take another look. I love the water beads!
