Step-by-Step Guide to Painting and Crafting Feathers for Name Tags

Step 1: Select your paint and choose your first color. Begin painting various lines onto your feather, starting from the center and moving outward towards the edges, following the feather’s natural direction.

Step 2: Choose a second color and paint lines in the gaps, leaving some white spaces as desired.

Step 3: Add dots to your design using the end of your paintbrush.

Step 4: Paint the tip of your feather green and set it aside to dry.

Step 5: Apply yellow paint or glue in a triangle shape at the top of the feather. Sprinkle glitter over the triangle and allow it to stick. Once dry, turn the feather upside down to shake off any excess glitter.

Step 6: Begin working on the name tags. Mix a few drops of water with a bit of acrylic paint and start painting the top of the tag. It should have a watercolor, washy look. If not, add more water.

Step 7: Gradually add more acrylic paint as you move down the tag to create an ombre effect, then allow it to dry.

Step 8: Write your guest’s name on the tag.

Step 9: Attach the name tag to the feather using string or twine.

Step 10: Place the feather on the place setting, and you’re finished!
