DIY  

Journey Begins

Step by Step

Instruction Guide 

Welcome to the feather earring workshop party 

HELPFUL REMINDER-

PLEASE ENSURE YOUR PHONE IS CHARGED FOR THIS EVENT

I like to welcome you to  The DIY Feather Earring Workshop.  This is a step-by-step instruction manual to help guide you through making your own feather earring masterpiece.

For most people, wearing jewelry serves different purposes. It may be a status symbol, a remembrance of an achievement, or a mere accessory. While many people would love to wear these items of embellishment, there are also a lot of people drawn to making them.

It is beautiful to think that more than just an item of luxury or glitz and glamour, jewelry does bring a lot of benefits not only to a person’s physical health but more so, for mental and psychological wellness.

We empower all women to turn heads and discover their own unique prowess through the art of feather earrings and promise you will feel light as a feather at the end of this workshop.  We encourage you to explore the Shanoski  Collection website to help inspire you to create your own unique creation and we look forward to seeing your masterpiece.

Wine and design build confidence one wing at a time!
