In our Prince Ali parade, we had four purple peacock girls. They wore ruffling white shirts with purple tutus I had made for last year's musical and purple tights. To complete their outfits, I made purple birdcages with feathers. They also carried wands made of peacock feathers and purple ribbon.
Supplies for purple peacock birdcages:
Purple tulle
Green, purple, and yellow feathers
Hard headband
Hot glue
Scissors
Measuring tape or cutting board
1. Cut a rectangle of purple tulle about 12x24 inches.
2. Cut out a corner of each side from the tulle.
3. Thread a needle through the top part of the veil including the corners you cut out. Pull the thread tight so it gathers all the fabric together.
4. Now take the headband and glue the gathered part of the tulle to the headband using hot glue.
Note: You can also use a hair comb instead of a headband. I only used a headband so it stayed in the girls hair better while they were dancing.
5. Lastly, I glued on feathers and bead strands.
Note: Try the birdcage on and see if the veil is too long. You can cut it to match the shape of your face more also.
