An inexpensive and simple DIY feather decoration that you can make with thread or wool.

Material

1 Stick
5 Coloured threads or wool
1 Scissors
1 Brush
5 Coloured beads

Method

Cut the thread to the desired length of the feather doubled over and cut the remaining thread to the desired width of the feathers, they will also be doubled over.
Double over the length thread and the width threads, place one width thread over the length thread and one under and feed the end of one through the top loop of the other making sure the length thread is in between the two widths and pull the width threads in opposite directions.
Repeat until the length of the feather is complete and tie off the bottom length thread.
Add the bead to the top of the feather
Brush the ends of the width threads to and trim the sides of the feathers to the desired shape
Repeat for all colours and loop over the stick
Attach a thread to both ends of the stick to hang with

These are pretty and don’t look as fragile as regular feathers, which can fall apart with too much touching. We shall be sure to try this out!
