Paper Feather Template

A few weeks ago I was helping my friend create her hat decoration for the Kentucky Derby party we were going to be attending together. We made over-sized paper flowers in bright pinks and plums and added some huge paper feathers into the mix to finish the over-the-top look. They were so pretty I knew I had to create a post for you on making a smaller version of this simple paper feather design. You can use them for gift toppers, a wedding boutonniere, put a few in a shadow box to hang on your wall, or make a paper feather wreath for your summertime decor! Browse to find my paper feather wreath projects in teal and gold. These feathers are very simple and would make a fun craft project for kids. Simply print my template onto your choice of colored papers or printed papers (I am loving the vintage dictionary page), then follow the directions below to complete. I have a PDF template available for those who are hand cutting, and an SVG file for everyone with a cutting machine. Enjoy! ~ Lia

These are so lovely! I wonder, how did you get the crease in the center of the feather?

Reply

  I just fold it. To get the curve, fold carefully bit by bit or score it first.

    Thank you, Lia! I was making it far more complicated in my head (potential step 1: get foam. step 2: get blunt item which is also sharp enough to crease, but not tear! step 3: etc. etc.) You just made life much easier. Thank you so much for this idea!

I love your paper feathers, such a simple idea and the motif isn’t so ‘cutesy’ like hearts, butterflies etc! I like symbols that I guess have a more ‘masculine’ tone…?!

I love this template, thank you so much. I have my whole house decorated in bird décor so this is a great way to make feathers of any color !!!!! The front wall of our atrium Chinese garden in the front of our house this covered in bird houses. One thing to remember if you live in a warm climate like SW Florida is to put scrap pieces of screen in the holes or you will have numerous mud dopper & hornets nest and you will get stung, I know my experience.

I am going to make about 100-150 feathers. My son is about to get his Eagle Scout award and I came up with an idea several years ago from a Snapple cap lol…it said an eagle had 7000 feathers. I kept that cap in my purse for 4 yrs and decided for his Eagle Court of Honor I am drawing an eagle head and each attendee will be given a feather to write a memory or inspiration for the new eagle scout and they will then pin it on the eagle drawing so we can “feather the eagle”. thanks for the help on our project

  I think a pair that fits in your hand nicely is the best. Try some on and see what is comfy. Most scissors are plenty sharp so it is more about how well they function with your hands. I really like the Scotch Precision scissors for paper cutting. Again, they feel good in my hand. 🙂

This is such a fabulous look. The wreath would make a lovely gift. I think if you made the wreath in different shades and prints of blue or pink it would be a great centerpiece for a shower and later the mother to be could put it on her door celebrating the arrival of the new baby. Colors could also be done different according to seasons as well. Great Job!

  Yes indeed, any color would look gorgeous. I made a white and gold metallic one for an upcoming Christmas post that is now hanging on the wall in my office tour photos.

Thank you SO much for this. I found you via pinterest on Wednesday. By Wednesday night, I had cut out a white feather and made it into a birthday card. Thursday after work I began cutting out more feathers (rainbow colors). Friday I went to the craft store with a plan, bought some card stock, and home again, started cutting out feathers. Saturday I continued, working literally 12 hours straight – and on Sunday I had a beautiful feather/dreamcatcher mobile to give to an expectant mama at her baby shower!

Very pretty! I want to try them in felt to embellish the hats I make. A little wire down the center will make them easy to shape, and they could be lengthened for a sassy addition to a wide-brimmed chapeau! I can just see them curved over the top of a pillbox or around the wide band of an African Crown. The ideas are too numerous to list here, but thanks for the pattern and lovely pictures!
