Feather Wreath

It was time to add some holiday cheer to my mom cave! A window wreath and mini tree would definitely be just enough to make this tiny room look festive.  I decided  to add a touch of glam by making a simple feather wreath.  It was an easy and inexpensive project.  As with the decorations on mini tree, I chose materials that coordinated with the color palette in the room. 

Here's how to make one:

 Supplies:

• 72" feather boa
• 12" styrofoam wreath
• straight pins
• ornament picks
• a piece of ribbon for hanging
• scissors

Directions:

Lay the styrofoam wreath form down and begin attaching the feather boa to the outer edge of the form using straight pins.  Fluff the feathers around the head of each pin to cover it.  Continue around the outside edge of the wreath until it is covered.

 When you come to the end, start a second row on the interior of the wreath.  Continue around in the same manner until the wreath form is covered with feather.  

 When you come to the end of the row, pull the end of the feather boa through the back and attach.

I found these pretty, copper ornament picks at Michael's for 50% off.  

Decide where you would like the ornaments on the wreath, then snip off the end of the wires with scissors and push the wire end into the wreath between the two rows of feather boa.

I used a piece of sparkly, copper ribbon to hang it on the window.  I didn't put a bow on it or add lights, because I like the elegant simplicity of it as it is.
