Sometimes, it’s nice to have a small project to spend a short amount of time on and after completing my Hillarys competition entry, I wanted to have a complete change and use up some card stock that I found after a recent supplies tidy up. The card was in pretty shades of Spring and pastel – perfect for a little garland project.
My feather templates were also kept simple, drawn freehand with a google image search and this post for inspiration. I drew two slightly different shapes, but kept the sizes to half of an A5 card sheet:
I used nothing more than a pair of scissors to create my feathers and then closing them, used the scissor tips to trace the vein down the centre of each feather:
This created a scored line that could then be folded in to and shaped to give each feather some movement and add a little interest:
Really, the feathers could be completed here, either stuck or threaded to some string and hung where is can be seen, but you know I need to add a little glitter and sparkle somewhere, so I got my glitter glue out and painted the tips with a couple of coats to build up the colour:
Once dried, I added a little further detail to around half of the feathers by taking the scissors to them again and cutting sections to give a more feathered effect around the shapes:
Your blog is just lovely, love your craft ideas! And good luck in the Hillary's Comp, your entry is gorgeous.
