Here is my next recreation of a hip hair accessory from the Renegade Craft Fair. 

These beaded feather hair clips are the perfect bohemian accessory.  They cost $250 but you can make them yourself for only $10.

These clips are inspired by the Paradise Collection by Jeeyun Ha Designs

Materials - totaling $15-20 (once you buy the initial materials the cost of making a second one goes down significantly, to about the cost of the beads)
1. Beads - $3-7, as many as you need depending on how many strands you want and length of strands, a couple grams of beads should cost you about $1 depending on type and store
2. Feathers - $2 bag of feathers (only use about 5-10 feathers, barely a dent), you can buy nicer more expensive feathers
3. Beading Thread - $0.89 for a bobbin of thread (you will used about 10 cents worth of thread)
4. Super Glue - approx. $4
5. Beading Needle - $0.89 for a pack of four
6. Hair Clips - $2 pack of 10 clips
7. Enamel (not necessary) - $8 for a set of small colored enamel paints

Very pretty, and the hairclip is nice as well. I reckon I'll make a few for my sister, who's always putting stuff in her hair.

Gorgeous! You have to have the right features and a heckuva dose of "don't care" to pull it off, though, I think.
