Feather Treasures with StencilGirl® Stencils!

Let go of perfection. Create beautiful feather treasures with this fun, simple and easy project! Sweet artsy statement feathers with pizzazz.

List of Supplies 

• Feathers
• Gesso
• Acrylic paints of your choice - I’m using Amsterdam reflex rose (384) & azo yellow deep (270)
• Make-up sponge
• StencilGirl® Stencils used - Puddles & Deconstructed Zinnia
• Acrylic marker
• Masking Tape
• You might also want to type on used & empty tea bags* - then you'll need used tea bags, a typewriter, matte medium and a brush 

Technique:

1. Start by taping your feathers down  { this makes it much easier to work on them }
2. Hold your stencil in place and gently pat down your acrylic paint onto the feather {don’t worry if it’s not perfect… that’s the fun part about it!}
3. Let your feathers dry and then go over them with another layer.
4. If you feel the need to add more layers or color, well then go for it!
5. After they are thoroughly dry you might want to add some small marks with an acrylic marker.
6. A wonderful and fun way to add words - type on tea bags* and then adhere them to your feather with matte medium
