Step-by-step manufacturing guide

It doesn't take a lot of time and materials to create such a masterpiece. Do some crafts for your soul, then getting an interesting decor will be doubly pleasant.

To work you will need:

  • old jeans or pieces of fabric;
  • pattern (if it is possible to draw the template directly on the workpiece, it will not be required);
  • thick thread or rope;
  • sewing equipment and scissors;
  • fabric glue;
  • decorative elements to your own taste.

Further We begin to create the product, strictly following the instructions:

  1. We cut strips 4–5 cm wide. It is important that the cuts follow the threads.
  2. Prepare the rope in advance and glue it to the middle of the piece to imitate the core.
  3. Use scissors to adjust the shape until it looks like a feather.
  4. We disassemble the fabric into threads, fluffing the “feather” on both sides.
  5. You can decorate the finished product with sequins, wooden beads, rhinestones and other decorative elements.

The craft is ready and now you can use it in needlework or simply use it at your own discretion. Combinations of dark and light feathers look beautiful. We advise you to do this if you have fabrics in the required shades.
