1. Boho Feather Wall Hanging
Wall hangings are the ultimate way to fill empty space with texture. By hanging feathers of different lengths from a rustic branch, you create a piece of art that moves gently with the breeze. It’s a calming addition to a nursery, bedroom, or home office.
- Materials Needed:
- A sturdy wooden branch or driftwood
- 15–20 large feathers (natural or white)
- Cotton twine or embroidery thread
- Wooden beads
- Hot glue gun
- Steps:
- Clean your branch and tie a long piece of twine to both ends for hanging.
- Cut several pieces of twine in varying lengths (6 inches to 18 inches).
- Tie a feather to the bottom of each string. Use a tiny dot of glue to ensure it stays.
- Slide a wooden bead down the string so it sits right on top of the feather.
- Tie the strings onto the branch, spacing them out evenly.
Pro Tip: Dip the tips of white feathers in gold acrylic paint for a “glam-boho” look that catches the light.
