Thrifted Halloween | Bridgerton Feather Fan

Bridgerton is a Netflix show that was first released December 25th in 2020. It’s a historical-romance series based on Julia Quinn’s collection of novels. The show follows elite families where other families would host formal events to introduce their children into society and find them suitable marriage matches. The show is filled with flashy ball gowns, feathers, diamonds, and dancing. Who wouldn’t want to dress up as a Bridgerton debutante for Halloween?
 
If you’re dressing up as a debutante, you’ll need a feather fan to catch yourself a Prince.
 
Materials:

• Paper fan
• White paint
• Flat paintbrush
• White feathers
• Hot glue and glue gun 

Step 1: Paint
Spread the fan out as much as possible. Paint white over every inch of the fan, including the handle. Use two coats of paint so the fan is a solid white color.
​
Step 2: Placement
Before you start gluing the feathers to the fan, you should layout the feathers so you have an idea of what the outcome will be.

Step 3: Gluing
Carefully remove the feathers that you placed in step 2 and start gluing each feather down. You should glue down the quill of the feather first and some of the vane so that the feather is completely glued to the fan. After you’ve glued each feather down, cut off any quill that may be sticking out. (Tip: To make the fan look extra lavish, let some of the vane of the feather sit above the paper of the fan).
 
Once you’re satisfied with how the fan turned out. Get ready to promenade with your fan to find yourself potential suitors.
