Boa for Hairbows for Boas in General

[CrazyCraftFrog]

the only Boa stuff I can find is the long version that is basically like an accessory for a woman to wear. I use this and cut pieces off of it to use in my bows. But pieces keep coming off. Is there a better way to buy boa material for smaller bows like hairbows?

Thanks!

What kind of Boa are you looking for? A Boa by definition is a fashion accessory usually worn around the neck. Originally they were made of feathers or fur but currently are also made of acrylic materials as well.

If you are looking for a shorter length 'fluff' you might want to use a boa style yarn instead. There are many on the market.

Yes I am looking for a shorter length fluff but I have never seen any in the craft stores. Just the long boa, like the length of a scarf. I want to give some of my corsages that feathery boaish look. I don't think it matters whether they are real or not. Do you suggest real or acrylic? What do I call it to try to find it like on here and online?

Which do you want to be shorter - the fringe part or the central thread?

Eyelash yarn may work for you.

Here is an example of one of the feather boa yarns...not feathers at all. I have one that is short listed also. They call the short one eyelash.

gosh, that pic is terrible, the 4th pic shows it better. there are lots of these listed here on etsy.

Thank you for those examples. Not sure that will work though. I don't really want something long, I need more of a fluff in a circle. Hope that makes sense?

Try Zucker feather products, they have a huge selection of different style boas.
