Feathers are used to adorn clothing and hats, decorate hair, and they
even appear in wedding bouquets. Recently, feathers have found their
way into paper crafting in the form of stamps and die cuts. There are
numerous patterned papers and embellishments sporting these soft,
downy plumes. Let’s take a look at a few techniques and some interesting
twists on using these beautiful trimmings.
Bust out your boas from last Halloween! Feathers are
all the rage and are showing up on a variety of paper
crafting endeavours. Read on for ideas on how you
can add quills to your creations.
Vickie created this
beautiful back-stitched
feather in a connect-the-
dot fashion.
With book paper, thin wire
and sharp scissors, you can
make your own paper feather.
