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.

Feather Ball Ornament DIY-2

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

Feather Ball Ornament DIY-3

It probably took about 1/2 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.

I love this one. 🙂 Sorry it took me until now to comment- I was “partying” from my phone and am not good at leaving comments with my thumbs- but I wanted to come back and re-read this later anyways!! I’ll have to see if I can make one before we put the tree up on Thursday (finally)! Woohoo! Have a GREAT Thanksgiving!
