It includes using watercolors and creating just one feather on a piece of canvas or watercolor paper. All you need is to just master few moves with the brush that will help you create the feather and that’s just it. Make sure to hang it in a beautiful frame!
2. Feather Wall Hanging
No matter if it’s your living room or office, wall hangings are such an amazing decor. They can add difference to the room’s look and make the wall appear less pale or empty. For this project, you need feathers, gold spray paint, suede lace, scissors and wood dowel. The result is more of a monochromatic decor rather than a colorful one, so you can completely take it to the office without worrying that it might be too much.
