I'm so pumped to share some feather crafts with you. But, before I get into making anything with feathers, I want to let you in on some secrets. Down below you will find 5 easy ways to turn disheveled feathers into pretty, workable feathers.
Materials:
- feathers
- scissors
Option 1: Snip the very tip off.
Option 2: Roll the feather until both ends meet. Use a small amount of hot glue to hold the ends together.
Option 3: Cut off the bottom two-thirds of the feather.
Option 4: Trim all the way around the feather to create a more defined shape.
Option 5: Cut off one side of the feather.
I hope this helps get you going with feather crafts!
I'm usually a lurker… but I just had to comment. When I was browsing through my Google Reader this morning I just quickly glanced at the title to your post. I thought it said "How to Manipulate Fathers" :) Did a quick double take and loved the info on feathers instead
How funny!

Thanks ever so much for sharing!…My grandaughter is getting married and wanted to use "feathers" in decorations. This is helping so much. I will now be able to get the desired effect I want. Now on to the "feathers" department for lots and lots of feathers!!!
THANK YOU AGAIN!
Ears perked up as soon as I saw your post. I was gifted with some lovely feathers and did not know what to do with them. Now I can thank the person with a gift of a lovely headband for his granddaughter. Thanks so much for sharing.
