Craft feathers and marabou feathers for decor and costumes

Feathers for dream catchers, masks and table decorations

Feathers bring lightness and movement to craft projects, such as dream catchers, masks, carnival costumes, greeting cards, hat trims and table decorations. In this category, you'll find craft feathers in various colors, lengths and pack sizes, including marabou feathers, in single colors or as colorful mixes.

Which feathers suit which project

Marabou feathers are very soft and fluffy and work well for delicate decorations, costume trims and masks. Smooth feathers with a firm quill hold their shape and suit dream catchers, hat trims and arrangements. Use colorful mixes for kids' crafts, collages and carnival, and single-color packs for table decorations with a uniform color scheme. Feathers are also a popular material at Easter and in the fall.

Attach feathers with craft glue or hot glue; the glue holds best at the quill. For dream catchers, you usually wrap them with thread or insert them into beads. On cards, a small dot of glue is enough so the feather can still move.

Tip: Crushed feathers often recover if you hold them briefly over steam and then gently smooth them back into shape.
