HUGE feathers for costumes

[GermanKennhuhn]

Maybe foam? I don’t know… personally I think that some craft material is going to be cheaper than actual feathers. But I honestly have no idea.

Oh, that could work too. I was actually just doing some reading, and isolon seems like it could work.

Maybe something like this? https://www.amazon.com/40-45cm-Natural-Feathers-Decoration-Christmas/dp/B079NRTT31/ref=mp_s_a_1_18crid=2KB1VD88GC5WF&keywords=huge+feathers&qid=1661187790&sprefix=huge+feathers,aps,176&sr=8-18

Those are a little too droopy for what I’m going for, but the size isn’t bad.

How about fake ostrich feathers?

I think those might be too floppy, but the size isn’t all that bad.

I think this could work.

I'm not really involved with costume making but I've been loosely interested and seen a couple videos. YouTube seems to have a decent variety of methods and materials.

Oh, perhaps turkey feathers? You could always paint them if you founded . Their wing feathers are pretty big. I forgot they were a possible option

How about Emu feathers?

How about Emu feathers?

They're the wrong shape

PVA foam or a 120 lb bond or thicker cardstock. You're going to want something that will hold shape and not be floppy, but also not too heavy or expensive. PVA foam is what most cosplayers use for costuming. It's fairly inexpensive, can be shaped with heat and will hold shape, comes in a variety of colors, and can be easily painted to your finish color.

Ok thought this was going to be a joke about molt season.

Went out to the coop this morning I saw what looked like a pillow fight. You know all the BYCers could ship you the feathers.

I'd love to see what you come up with.
