Holiday Feather Ornaments
Gold and silver feather ornaments are increasing in popularity this Holiday season. So why not make your own thrifty version?
Try this simple DIY short-cut to give simple inexpensive craft feathers an elegant festive look.
Materials:
• Craft feathers, any color
• Gold and silver spray paint
• Thin craft wire
Instructions:
1. Wrap a bit of craft wire around the quill of each feather and form a hook at the tip
2. Brush feather barbs with fingers against their natural direction to give them a ruffled look.
3. Spray paint both sides, including the quill
4. Hang the feathers by the hook on a dowel
5. Allow to dry for 10 minutes
Get creative…
Add some pizzazz to your feathers.
Spray paint them different colours. Make them two-toned, with both gold and silver or add some glitter on the tips before they dry.
Voila! The perfect addition to any Christmas tree.
I hope this post inspired you to make your own Holiday ornaments 😀

These turned out so well! When I saw their original colour, I was unsure that the spray paint would take -but these are gorgeous!
