Pipe Cleaner Feathers

Hi friends,

We made fun, fuzzy feathers with pipe cleaners. They can be made to look realistic or multicolored for a make-believe twist. With a few items, you’ll have your own fuzzy feathers. Check out our feathers below.

What You'll Need

  1. Craft Paper

  2. Variety of Pipe Cleaners (3 per feather)

  3. Matching Colored Pencils

  4. Hot Glue

 

The Steps

 
  1. Twist 3 pipe cleaners together at the top.

  2. Braid the rest of the pipe cleaners and twist the ends together. Repeat as many times as you want.

  3. Fold the braided pipe cleaners in half to create the feathers and trace them onto the paper with a matching colored pencil.

 

4. Make a centerline for each feather and fill in the feathers with matching colors.

5. Lastly, outline the colored feather with hot glue and then carefully press down the matching feather.

That’s it!

You can fill in the whole page or create a pattern with them for added fun.

Naomi’s feathers are glued close together.

I spaced my feathers out more.

 

Happy crafting!

Amanda and Naomi
