You can purchase feathers at nearly any craft store or online.

this!
as much as I loved the look of the metal combs I bought, I ended up using a plastic one because the metal ones just wouldn't stay put!

Where do you get the feathers at?

Most hair combs are going to have to be bobby pinned in to make sure they stay in all day. Even with clips, the fascinator can sometimes be too heavy for them to hold and they are a bit more difficult to bobby pin in. I have super fine hair, but with some strategically placed pins they stayed in really well.

my one interjection…,make sure the hair combs HOLD your hair before you go to all the effort. Not all hair combs are created the same. The only ones that work for me are from 1940. All the modern ones fall right out

Oh wow, that is something I could actually do! Thanks for this, as I now feel comfortable DIYing my fascinator for my birdcage veil

I made a similar fascinator for my wedding (well 3 actually- for me and my bridesmades) using antique broaches and feathers. I found out the combs did not stay in well at all, so I had to remake them onto hair clips I got at Michaels (I think they are called pinch clips or bow clips). If your fascinator will be heavy or if you have fine hair, I recommend using a clip. It worked perfectly and stayed in all night.
