*Dreams* The pen used to sign wedding vows is definitely a feather pen♡
The feather pen used for signing wedding vows in dramas and movies is a coveted item for girls, and it’s a classic item used during the ceremony. Walking down the aisle and taking the time to sign together at the front of the chapel is an important moment in the ceremony, and it’s also a time when beautiful photos can be captured that become lasting memories♩
Feather pens are stylish and charming, but the reason they are used in weddings is not just their cuteness! In fact, feather pens have a wonderful jinx associated with them♡
The origin of the word "pen" comes from "penna" (feather). The legend that angels reside in feathers and bring good fortune spread after everyone began signing with feathers dipped in ink. It seems that using feather pens during weddings became a tradition to wish for happiness together♩*

While feather pens are a staple for signing during the ceremony, their cuteness allows for various uses such as a pen for the reception or for getting comments in the guest book.

You can definitely handcraft feather pens using materials sold at craft stores. Here’s how to create a gorgeous-looking feather pen at home♩
[Bride DIY] Easy way to make a feather pen♡
① The materials needed for making a feather pen are just four: feathers, scissors, a cutter, and ink! It’s best to use larger flight feathers from birds♩
② Once you have the materials, start by making the pen tip. Cut the tip of the feather shaft diagonally with scissors, and make a vertical slit along the long side of the shaft with the cutter. This will create a channel for the ink to flow through♩
➂ And that’s it! Dip this pen tip in ink and start writing♩ You can also use a store-bought pen tip and simply insert the feather. Although feather pens look fabulous, they are surprisingly simple and easy to make♡
