Feather Love

source

It is no secret - I love feathers.

I love making my handmade dreamcatchers, individually selecting the feathers and looping them through leather to create a one of a kind look. I have dreamcatchers, feathers and even my DIY African Juju hat scattered around my home. I am crazy for feathers. They are so beautiful, each one so unique, a different shape or colour.

Recently Bec from Pinch Me Beautiful featured me over on her blog here and it was then we both realised our love for feathers - as she too incorporates them into her handmade weaving creations. It got me thinking about using feathers to decorate in your home, so today I am sharing with you some ideas if you too want to jump on the feather bandwagon and bring some texture and interest into your home.

If you feel like getting a little crafty, then why not try some fun painted and sparkly feathers like the ones below? You could display them in a vase? Add some twine and make bunting or even pop one on a wrapped present to add a bit of  fun?!

You can see the tutorial here on Pinch Me Beautiful.


DO YOU HAVE FEATHERS IN YOUR HOME?
I hope I have inspired you to incorporate them into your home - they truly are beautiful and add a layer of texture and interest.
