See more » - Metal wreath form (as pictured - mine is around 12" in diameter) - Your choice of paper to print the feathers on (I used regular matte white photo paper, but you could use cardstock, textured cardstock, or any paper in any color you'd like) - A strong glue that will hold paper to metal (I used E-6000 because I wanted to make sure the paper would adhere to the metal really well. It's super strong but very toxic, so if you use this glue, use it in a very well ventilated area!) Step One: Open your Feathers files in your photo-editing software. Arrange them onto an 8.5"x11" canvas. Print them out. I used *several* sheets of feathers for this wreath. It will take alot. To save paper and ink, just print them as you need them though. (These files are PNG files, so as long as you have software that supports PNG files, you will be fine! Most photo-editing programs support this format, like Photoshop. :-) Step Two: Cut out your feathers. One tip I learned a long time ago when I was doing alot of decoupage: Instead of letting your cutting hand take the lead, let your non-cutting hand move the paper/shape. In my experience, it's much easier to cut out detailed shapes this way! :-) If that didn't make sense, for example if you're right handed, you hold your scissors in your right hand, and your printed image/paper in your left hand. Keep your right hand (and scissors) still, and let your left hand move the paper back and forth. Your left hand will guide the cutting instead of the scissors. Step Three: Once you have quite a few feathers cut out, you can start gluing them to your wreath form. This metal form has two "tiers". You'll need to start on the bottom tier. These feathers will rest underneath the feathers on the top tier. Start by adding a drop of glue to the top metal rim as seen here: Then add a drop of glue to the bottom rim: Then attach your first feather: Keep attaching the feathers all the way around until you finish the bottom tier. Now attach feathers to the entire top tier. You're finished! Now you can embellish it if you'd like, or keep it as is. I added some green pompoms to my wreath. The result is a modern take on the traditional wreath. And so pretty to display for Springtime! :-) **Please note: If you'd like to make this wreath, but don't have photo-editing software to open PNG files, please email me at thousandclowns (AT) yahoo.com and you can purchase a printable PDF file from me (can be opened on any computer) or you can purchase printed feather sheets that I can snail-mail to you. :-) Email me for pricing!** See less »
