DIY Feather Snowflake Ornaments
Last week, I was excited to participate with several other bloggers for a Trim the Tree Party hosted by Clean and Scentsible. I shared an easy diy tutorial for making snowflake ornaments out of feathers. I am sharing the original post here with you today. I hope you enjoy! I only made the four in the post, but am hoping to find some time to do more soon for our tree. I am loving how they look on it!
Here is the original post:
Hello everybody! I am so thrilled to be participating in this week’s Trim the Tree Party. I have a super easy ornament tutorial for you today, that looks beautiful on the tree. My style is very eclectic, vintage and bohemian, so my tree this year is what I like to call “boho glam.” It is filled with feathers, beads, jeweled pieces and shimmering ornaments. Recently, I decided a few more couldn’t hurt, which is when I came up with these feather snowflakes!
Here is what you will need:
(this list contains affiliate links*)
-several small feathers in the color of your choosing – I used 8 – 12 each per ornament
–twine or string
-cardboard pieces cut into small squares
-jeweled embellishments – I chose to use rhinestone buttons and vintage jewelry pieces. You can often find these at thrift stores, antique shops, or purchase them online by searching: salvage jewelry lot.
–glue gun
I glued down four larger feathers in a cross and then four smaller ones in an X to make the snowflake shape.
And then finally, I hot glued the embellishment in the center and the first “snowflake” was done! It is definitely a pretty addition to the tree.
I made a few more to go with it, and mixed up the feathers, including one all brown and one one with white and brown. For that one, I added an additional four feathers to give it a full look.

OMG! This is crazy!! You are never going to believe the thought I had this morning……making flowers with feathers as the petals. Not the same, but a similar idea for feathers! Love your snowflakes!! So pretty! I hope my flowers turn out just as cool!
