Thank you so much for this inspiring tutorial! Years ago, when I realized I could not afford an antique feather tree, I purchased a 3ft. handmade one. I always wanted to know how they were made. Now, being really into making spun cotton ornaments, of course, I need more trees!😁🎄 Loved seeing the process!👏

[@SmileMercantile]

They make the perfect display for spun cotton! Hope you'll try it, lots of fun. Thanks Paulette! ♥

Thanks so much! There are several methods for making these, but this is my favorite, and easy to replicate. :)

J’adore .❤ Merci beaucoup pour vos conseils . En France , nous ne trouvons pas de feather tree , alors je transforme moi aussi mes sapins trop épais ! 😊!

[@SmileMercantile]

merci d'avoir regardé ♥

[@Xavierxavou]

@SmileMercantile j’aime beaucoup votre chaîne de qualité et votre formidable goût !

[@kellihull7600]

Absolutely MESMERIZING 😮 I want to make one SO BAD, however, my arthritic hands (and short temper LOL) tell me no! Your teaching skill is VERY VERY good too! Definitely new subscriber!

[@SmileMercantile]

Yes this is a hand-cramp project - lots of grasping and repetition. 😅

[@ScotlandYarn]

Your feather tree is beautiful! Do you know how to add berries to a feather tree that is missing some berries?

[@SmileMercantile]

If the feather is still attached I think I would use a fine wire, 30 gauge, to wrap on a new berry stem. Zebra jewelers wire comes in a couple shades of green that might blend in pretty well.

[@ScotlandYarn]

@ Thank you, I did not think of that method. I really appreciate your reply 😀

[@deniseknechtges8097]

How many stems for that size tree. Do we need more than one pkg of the goose feathers or will we have some left for next tree.

[@SmileMercantile]

22 stems per tree. One pack of 75 feathers is enough to do a tree with some spares. You can also save your scraps- they can be used, they just don't cover as much length as a full feather.
