Hey guys, this Halloween I made a fun DIY crow costume and thought I would share what I used to create this look. The feather mohawk was the star of the show. I watched a couple YouTube videos on how to construct one and used ideas from both. I'll link those videos here.
Feather mohawk: --Hot Glue gun + glue sticks
300 pc. Bulk Hard Feathers: https://amzn.to/3Wh0F1v You probably don't need this many, but I wanted more than enough. I used the majority of the long ones.
Black foam sheet: https://amzn.to/3NGm801
Feather cape shawl: https://amzn.to/3DrI8Xt Put this behind your neck and under your arms to tie it behind your back.
Feather skirt: https://amzn.to/3Nt4tZt Ran true to size if not a bit large for me.
Tattoo pen for drawing on the crow beak: https://amzn.to/3FBRsej
I also glammed it up with rhinestone jewelry, thick eye liner and long lashes!
Other accessories used: Fishnet stockings, punk rock socks, Doc Marten boots.
Use a nice, strong headband for your feather mohawk. One that will grip the hair, not a cheap $1 store one like I did. (Bobby pins to the rescue!)
This was a super fun costume and was reasonably comfortable considering I was covered in feathers. The skirt was easy to sit and walk in. The taped feathers on my forehead were SO much better than having a bunch of paint on my face. And they looked better too.
Have fun!
