Handmade Tartan & Plaid Feathers

Handmade Tartan Plaid Feathers
"Making faux feathers is a really relaxing and fun craft. In the past, I have made them out of jeans scraps from simply fraying the denim. That is when I got the idea that I could use other woven fabrics such as tartan and plaid to make the feathers with also. Tartan and plaid are both woven fabrics, it's best to use the heaver wool versions of these fabrics to make the feathers. You won't be disappointed as these fabrics make feathers in lovely colors and patterns. "
