Today I begin a series which I call my
12 Days of Christmas Share-a-thon.
Each day for the next 12 days, I will be sharing great holiday decorating ideas and recipes - you won't want to miss them, so keep coming back each day!
Day 1 - Making a Homemade Feather Tree
I love feather trees but not the prices. Wandering around the internet, I found this great tutorial for making your own for under $10. For this craft you will need:
- one spool 14GA wire
- 1 ball of "furry" yarn
- small wire pliers with wire cutters
- tall can around 5 1/2"
- enough rice to fill the can
- scissors
- optional is one spool ribbon and glue gun
- 2hrs
Click on the images to enlarge the tutorial and be sure to share a picture with me of your tree once you finish - I'll be posting them so everyone can see your handiwork!
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at the feather trees and wondering about how to make one. Might just have to give it a whirl. :)
I'll be looking forward to the next 11 days! :)
Thanks for sharing!

Woohoo, I got the pattern. Now to find fuzzy yarn. Sometimes it is not so great living in the boonies. I am looking somewhere tomorrow though.
