Feather gift tags / Paper Ornaments

Hello creative friends, 

Tina here from Tina Hois Art and today I will show you a quick gift tag or paper ornament idea that will be perfect for your gifts and also look fantastic on a tree or a festive garland. Who said feathers are just for birds!

For this project I used Broken line columns (M255) created by  Cynthia Silveri. It’s a simple yet versatile pattern that I love and use frequently. 

The Process:

Step 1:

On watercolour paper with the colours of your choice transfer the stencil marks.

Step 2:

Fold a separate piece of paper in half and outline an oval shape as above (this can be any size you prefer)

Step4:

Trace the shape on to the stencilled watercolour paper and cut

Step 5:

Fold the feather shape in half and cut slits from the outside edge to almost the middle fold

Step 6:

Add a contrasting colour- I added gold acrylic ink ~ but white or silver would look great also.

I also punched a small circle and added silver string to finish it off. 

Enjoy creating your own festive feather tags!
