DIY felt feather garland

May 8, 2013

DIY felt feather garland

Here is a super cute DIY felt feather garland I made for the little man’s nursery.

Originally I was going to do a black and white nursery but I found a really great chest of drawers that have all these rustic earthy tones through them. I did a bit of a turn around decided to do a more western themed space. I also got given an amazing blanket from Greta’s Handcraft Centre that has similar colours.

  • Wool
  • Felt
  • A thick needle
  • Felt balls *you can buy them from Felt Foxes (I love this shop) or make them using this felt ball tutorial
  • Scissors

Directions

  1. Cut leaf-like shapes out of the felt freehand. You want to have a bit of a wonky shape as feathers are natural and not too perfect.
  2. Haphazardly cut some slits and wedges up the sides.
  3. Lay the ‘feathers’ and felt balls out on a flat surface in the order you want them to be on the garland.
  4. Thread the length of wool (however long you want) and sew through the balls and ‘feathers’.

The balls are optional, it will also look cool without them. The reason I used wool is that it grips the felt and you don’t have to tie knots to keep all the bits and bobs in shape. This means you can re-space everything when you’re done.

    LOVE this beyond words. I am a HUGE fan of felt foxes too. I could go a little crazy with all the gorgeous felt balls, but I do love your feather idea too xx
