    Feather Ball Ornament

    November 15, 2014 by Ashley Mayes 20 Comments

    Happy Saturday! This may be the only time you will ever see me post on a Saturday. =) Today marks the 4th day in the 12 consecutive days of DIY Christmas Ornaments. Today, I'm sharing an adorable Feather Ball Ornament Tutorial.

    I seriously am in love with how it turned out! It was super easy, just a bit time consuming. Ready for the mini-tutorial?

    Gather your supplies. You will need a bag of feathers, a styrofoam ball and twine or something to hang

    it with.

    Feather Ball Ornament DIY-1

    I found it easy to stick the ball on a toothpick during this project, so you will need that as well.

    All you do is stick feathers in the ball. I turned as I went and then when I felt like I got it full, I looked at it and gauged where I thought I needed a few more feathers.

    Hang it with some twine or wire and call it a day.

    Feather Ball Ornament DIY-3

    It probably took about ½ the bag of feathers and about 30 minutes to make. I think it's my favorite little ornament to date. What do you think?

      LOVE this! Quick question: What did you use to stick the feathers onto the ball? 😉

        Thanks April! I just stuck them in... no glue or anything. The tip of the feathers (in a bag from Michaels) were pointy enough to stay on their own.

        Thanks Linda! The only negative was that it's a bit time consuming, but I totally adore it.
