Feather wreath

I've always quite liked wreaths but I've never had one. So when I saw two silver wicker wreath forms at B&Q for 10p each (!) I snapped them both up.

Yesterday I took one and hauled out the two white feather boas I've had forever and wrapped the boas around the wreath form. I didn't glue or pin them, just tucked the ends under. I added a length of turquoise ribbon and stuck it to the mirror in the studio with a thumb tack. Voila - my el-cheapo feather wreath!

  1. How cool...........you are just so clever! I once did a bunch of wreaths where I cut squares with a pinking shears and stuffed it into a straw wreath with a phillips screwdriver. But that was years and years ago.

  9. So smart! I love the blue ribbon you used to hang it. I grabbed a white feathered wreath from my grocery store 3 years ago. I love it. It has such a whimsical feeling to it. Just one question, my wreath comes our at Christmas, have you started decorating for Christmas already? Yikes!

    take care,
    Lisa

  11. I can't imagine why you had feather boas lying about, but what a fabulous use for them. It looks lovely.
