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:
- We cut strips 4–5 cm wide. It is important that the cuts follow the threads.
- Prepare the rope in advance and glue it to the middle of the piece to imitate the core.
- Use scissors to adjust the shape until it looks like a feather.
- We disassemble the fabric into threads, fluffing the “feather” on both sides.
- 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.
Where to apply?
For some, the decor will be a great addition to denim clothing. Place the finished feathers on the back of the jacket and imitate the wings of an angel. The finish looks soft and attractive.
If your interior is made in eco-style, create an unusual composition - a kind of “dream catcher”.To do this, take an uneven stick, strip it of bark and tie it with a thin rope. Several feathers of different shades are hung on it.
Earrings made with your own hands are more pleasant to wear, which makes you feel proud. You can also complement handbags, belts, and combine them with thread feathers. Each product carries a piece of soul and looks much more attractive purchased items.
