PAMELA YAGER: So now that we have a bunch of flowers on our boa, it's now for the final step. And that is for trimming, the last amount of trimming. You can now--you can trim the feathers as well as the ribbon. And depending on how you want it to look, you can wear it yourself and see how it lays and check it out in the mirror and say, "I think I like this ribbon. I like this ribbon long like this but I think I want it just a tad bit shorter." Right? So you will want to cut it on both sides. Another trick is, if you can't see your flowers, you're going to want to cut the feathers around where the flowers are. And cutting feathers is very easy. People never know where you cut them. It's not like cutting the leaves of a plant. It's very easy just to cut randomly. So you're going to cut the feathers away from the flowers. And that's just going to give you more area for the flower to sit and makes it a little nicer. And I've actually done that. I've worked with a boa. And I have a finished party boa over here, where I've done some coordinating colors and this is what it came up with and I just think it's very, very cute, very festive. It pulls in the colors of the party. It's a lot of fun to wear. It's sassy. It's elegant. It's fun. I really enjoy it and I hope you have fun with your party boa, and making your party boa, 'cause this has been a lot of fun for me.
