Cart Before the Horse Strawberry Ornament |
View all Christmas ornament posts here.
I really love making Christmas ornaments and I love buying them from artists as well. Each year I've done a post on making Christmas ornaments.
At left is an ornament I bought from Cart Before the Horse. It is so fun to pull out these artist friend's ornaments each year.
I'd like to make a feather tree of sorts this year to hold some of my artsy ornaments.
Below is one made by Megan Holloway of the Merry Ghost.

There are some lovely feather trees out there made in a traditional way. And there are some very interesting modern approaches! In searching how to make them, I found Jane Avions's tutorial. She uses an old technique and updated it a bit using a new material. You can visit Jane's site for a tutorial. Original feather trees use goose feathers for the evergreen "needles". Jane had a cool idea to use "furry" yarn.
