My Little Feather Tree

 Hello again from The French Hen's Nest.

I was visiting my friend Sandi at the Rose Chintz Cottage yesterday and she was showing off her beautiful feather tree.  She was even able to capture it in just the right light and it had a romantic pink hue.

Well I wanted that feather tree.  It was beautiful on the silver tray, with greenery and snowballs she made, sitting in front of the window at sunset. 



I know I am not supposed to covet my friends feather tree, but I did...for just a moment.  Then I decided that I would make my own feather tree!

I remembered that I had picked up white feather boas at the Dollar Tree and all I needed was a cone for a base.  I looked around and found a very large cardboard envelope, rolled it into a cone shape and trimmed the bottom straight.  You could use poster board for this.

My cone was 18" tall

I then gathered my supplies.  Four feather boas from the children's aisle at the Dollar Tree, my cone and my hot glue gun.

I started at the bottom so each layer would hang over the previous layer.  I put a dab of glue every 2" and made sure not to glue the feathers down, but keep them fluffy. 

Half way there!

I kept wrapping the boas around until I reached the top.  I had a few feathers that loosened from the boa so I glued those to the top.

And here is my feather tree!

Isn't it beautiful?  I sure think so.  Thank you Sandi for inspiring me.

Now I need to cut my greenery and make the snowballs!

Thanks for visiting the French Hen's Nest.  Have a beautiful blessed day.

Linda
