When a mate of mine experienced to section techniques with her African Juju hat wall decor (you really do not want to know), she was in the marketplace for a substitution. It is been a when due to the fact I’ve been crafty and what improved time than the new yr for a contemporary commence?! Perfect timing. A best chance to emphasis on the positive and to send some fantastic juju to a buddy. 

What’s your to start with Diy project of the new 12 months? Hunting for and uncomplicated, fun and “GOOD” Do-it-yourself to jumpstart 2022? This is the perfect minor undertaking for you to test! I felt empowered and inspired so I opened up my Amazon application and requested these supplies: 

Materials I utilized (referral backlinks):

• cardboard circle (could very easily make one particular from recycled cardboard also, especially if you have been procrastinating the vacation thoroughly clean up!)

• feather trim ( procured 2 of this feather trim and 1 of this feather fringe trim)

• aluminum pop leading (taken out from can) to cling (could also use string or cling with drive pins)

Applications:

warm glue gun/sticks, scissors

What I did:

I observed the middle of my cardboard circle. From there, I drew a straight line to the outer edge. 

Working with scissors, I lower along the line. 

Next, working with scorching glue together a person side of the cut, I glued the other aspect marginally on major to produce a very little bit of a ‘bowl’-shape. It is extremely slight…just ample to give it a 3D glance.

Then, protect your fingers ‘cuz that sizzling glue is Warm! Be thorough! (I applied a capped pen to hold down the ribbon as essential.) Ascertain placement and commence attaching the base of the feather journey to the cardboard circle. I worked my way about the outer edge. 

Repeat in circles for entire protection. Centered on your materials, figure out how shut together to protect the cardboard. I alternated the 2 various feather trims. 

For the centre, incorporate a coordinating or very same shade silk flower. Or, like me, just take a little bit of leftover trim and roll to make a “center” piece. Attach with warm glue. 

Fill in with unique feathers as wanted.

Connect hanging system of selection to the back with warm glue. 

Simple peasy! Significantly lighter and not as in-depth or weighty as the actual thing but lovely none-the-significantly less and unique mainly because you produced it on your own!

The final result:

Texture! Softness. Magnificence!
