Oh yes lovelies... you just know I had to make this beauty now didn't you?
What with my affection for doilies... and painted feathers... it was only a matter of time.
It's actually a very simple approach to this gorgeous 'dreamcatcher' inspiration.
So here's how I whipped up the project:
Supplies
+ large doily
+ embroidery hoop
+ ribbon (yarn, string, lace)
+ beads
+ canvas material
+ vinyl/leather
+ paint colours
+ glue
Step 1: Sketch out the feathers on to canvas. Paint the tips in complimentary colours of your choosing. (You're welcome to trace my designs here if you'd like).
Step 2: Cut feathers out with matching vinyl/leather material for the backing.
Step 3: Insert your ribbon on the inside of the vinyl and coat with glue - pressing the feather design on top to seal it in. (Sewing the pieces together is also an option).
Step 4: String as many beads as you like on to the ribbon.. and hang from the outer hoop.
Step 5: Stretch doily across the embroidery hoop. Tighten. Trim. Glue around back edge of hoop.
Voila!
A creative and delicate delight to hang in your nest!
Creatively yours,
Mel ;o)
