Red Feather Wreath

2 Comments

This red feather wreath was made with products from Dollar Tree and only cost $10 to make! It only takes about 20 minutes or less to make. More if you are fighting off your feline friend.

Supplies:

9 Red Feather Boa's from Dollar Tree = $9
1 Pool noodle from Dollar Tree = $1
Duct or similar tape = free (had on hand :)
1 Frisky Feline = priceless

TOTAL PROJECT = $10

Steps:

1) Bend the pool noodle into a circle and have a friend hold it together (making sure both ends are touching and even) while you tape it or vice versa.

2) Carefully unknot ends of each feather boa.

3) Tightly tie together feather boa's creating a chain (or one long boa).

4) Tie the end of the first feather boa to the pool noodle. Carefully wrap the boas around the noodle. Wrap boas snugly so they do not hang but not too tight as they could break or misshape the wreath. Tie the end of the last boa to the end of the first boa.

VOILA!!!
