Make a Paper Feather Garland with Glittering Tips
This Christmas, as you saw in my Handcrafted Holidays video, I decorated my tree with a bird theme in a variety of gold and silver tones. The paper feathers are part of the detail of the tree and to add a little extra bling, I used some pretty gold and silver glitter on the tips of my paper feather ornaments. The feathers are so pretty that today I made this feather garland to coordinate with the tree. I tested several methods and the one that works best is what I am going to share with you today which is using a craft spray glue. Below is the step-by-step tutorial as well as the PDF pattern and the Silhouette pattern for these feathers. Please note that the Silhouette template is for the cutting machine and will not open without that software. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Leave a CommentCan you tell me the length of the feathers? I need feathers for a charity Gala we are planning and yours are the perfect shape!
Hi Wendy!
These feathers come in all different shapes and sizes! If you become a member you’ll have access to the PDF which gives you the exact shape and size of the feathers for your project! Please let us know if you have any further questions and we would be happy to help!
This just gorgeous! Do you glue the feathers in place on the string, or are they hanging loosely?
Thank you! I did let these hang loose, but have glued them down on other projects when I didn’t want them to move around 🙂
Thank you so much for this template. I love these feathers.
I really like them too and use them for so many things. Enjoy!
I love this! So,beautiful. 😉
Happy to hear!
These are so cute! I am going to make some of these to decorate my homemade gifts for friends too! 🙂 Thanks again for another great post Lia…happy holidays!

Oh how lovely! I love how simple this project is with a hint of glamour and sparkle…the perfect mix!
Thanks Jenni! I always like to go check out the blogs of those who comment. Love yours!
Oh why thank you! I only recently discovered yours, too and you have a wonderfully creative site. Love it 🙂
I love these feathers the gold makes them look so elegant. Great for any project.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and New year.
Thank you.
Thanks Amanda! Have a wonderful holiday!!
Love this feathered garland, I saw how you used the feathers as embellishment for gifts. They’re so beautiful!
So many uses for paper feathers! The garland is one of my favorites too.
This is a fantastic idea for decorating a tree. They’re so versatile and gorgeous. Love glitter on ends of feathers. How many ways can we use these, it’s incredible.
I’ll be hanging this from my shutter shelf. Thanks so much for sharing another incredible project. I finally made the feather
wreath, even my daughter noticed it and didn’t make fun of it, her and her hubs tend to razz me about all my creations. I so love all the beautiful projects you share with us. Thanks so much.
I know! I just keep thinking of all the different project paper feathers are so handy for. . . all year round. 🙂
Thanks.
Un grand merci pour ces très belles plumes.
So happy you like them. 🙂
Beautiful as always, Lia. Such pretty metallic papers, too.
My best to you, Zoe

Thanks Karin! Happy Holidays to you too!!
Thank you so much for the silhouette file for the feathers! My daughter and I have a special fondness of feathers. We often exchange them in photos as we see them randomly in our day. I’m off to make a garland for each of us!
That is such a cute exchange! Enjoy the garland.
