These were great for our Mardi Gras party. They were beautiful, and by the end of the night, we weren't picking up feathers from all over the place because the feathers stayed put. The ones that people didn't end up wearing worked great for decorations.I had originally gone a "cheaper" route with some decorate your own masks, and over $100 later in craft supplies, hours of labor, and a few minor glue gun burns, I should have just bought these to begin with.
