Feather Wreaths Attractive And Simple To Make
Feather wreaths can be a strikingly attractive decoration and are surprisingly simple to construct.
A wreath made from feathers (either real or artificial) can take many forms. They range from playful decorative items constructed from artificial pink fuzzy feathers to more traditional looking seasonal door pieces made from the feathers of wild turkeys. The options are nearly endless. A quick look at any major crafts show will reveal hundreds of possibilities. The many different styles of these wreaths make them a consistently popular accent item.
Although there are many different patterns and ways to construct a feather wreath, one of the more simple means to produce one is by using a basic straw wreath form (available at any major craft store) and several large feathers. This approach requires no additional supplies, except a pencil or other device that may be used to poke guide holes into the form.
The wreath maker simply splays out the feathers and creates a ring around the bottom third of the form. Usually, the feathers are inserted at an angle to produce a more organized and attractive final product. After completing the first ring of feathers, additional layers are made using the same pattern. Generally, three or four layers will produce a desirable outcome if the feathers are sufficiently large relative to the wreath form's size. After all feathers are properly inserted, the wreath maker may add accent items to improve the final performance. The traditional favorite is a bow placed at the bottom of the wreath.
This strategy for producing a feather wreath works wonderfully with large turkey feathers and can produce a stunning seasonal piece perfect for fall and Thanksgiving decoration. However, the technique will work with virtually any kind of feather. For instance, one can create an angelic wreath from white flowers or a fun, colorful craft from a bag of multicolored artificial feathers.
Feather wreaths can be relatively simple to make and produce a wreath maker with a popular alternative to wreaths constructed from leaves, twigs or branches. The exact nature of a flower wreath is limited only by the maker's imagination.

Cute, but very, very small. I had a hard time even finding succulents small enough to put in these. Like the nice touch of matching rose gold wall screws

Pleased with the garden set. Easy to assemble and very good value for money. A good size for our small garden and the colour is better than imagined from the online images. Excellent delivery service.

Brilliant - easy to put together, I did it alone in about half hour and didn’t need to drill any holes (some reviews mentioned this) Looks great and fits shoes / boots easily as well as fitting in a small hallway without dominating it. Fabulous buy.

This bench could not have been easier to put together. I'd also like to mention that it keeps the rain out. It's a good size for odds and ends, but of course doesn't hold much.

I think the description should make it clear of the stone content. It looks like a stone pot from the outside,but definitely not on the inside. It seems like the small amount of stone is in the paint on the outside only. So doesn't feel vakue for money when you handle them. Also it says can be usef inside or outside, but is imprinted on the Base as part of the mould that you have to drill through the Base if using outside. I have since been told this revokes the warranty. Can this be right?????

The issues are that the 40mm x No. 7 screws wasnt sufficient to fully tighten the front and rear cross-sections to the seat section. held but not securely. Pri-drilled holes should be just that little deeper.

Great for filler on the collage wall. Not much else to say except they didn’t break on the way

The storage seat is great. It fits perfectly on our small balcony. We have a small outdoor space and having a dual function piece is a tremendous plus. I would have given it 5 stars except for one possible issue. The back of the piece has a couple very small openings where the hinge that allows the seat to raise/open is located. We have the item up against a wall and under the balcony located in the apartment above us. So it won't be an issue for us. But if the storage seat were to be completely exposed to the elements there might be a chance rain could get inside in a driving windy heavy downpour. Other than that I'd give the storage seat an unqualified 5 star recommendation.

I love the brown rattan style, it fits in to my garden style. I love the modern look of the grey but that would fit in! The cushions are wipeable which is great as my dog has joined us on the sofa. Bought furniture clips online and found it a funny size but have wedged a bit of plywood in and it’s not moved since! Worth the money but definitely a two man build.

Absolutely lovely set that fits perfectly on the balcony. Quite comfortable and easy cleaning cushions. Only tiny addition needed (or advice) would be to get clips to hold some of the seating together, if you are putting on decking or hard flooring as it may slide apart.

Looks good, but the metal hooks you attach to the plant basket that will hold it on the balcony kept springing off when assembling, so not sure how it will hold on my balcony and stay with a plant inside. Hoping with the weight of the plant it stays snugly fit to my balcony. Will see.

Very cute but they're extremely small. The picture does not reflect the reality in size. Yes, you had the dimensions posted, but when the handles are added into the height this can be misconstrued for a bigger vessel (which happened in my case). The form is nice, the material is lovely and modern but the vessel size is unrealistic for any planter, even for the tiniest plant. There's no picture to send, I've just packed them away in a drawer because it won't worth the return postage.

Nice little shoe storage. Shelves were a bit smaller than expected. Package did not arrive on time and packaging was very tired.

I love my new furniture, looks lovely on my patio and quite comfy. Like the way you can change it around. Only thing to note is it’s quite complex to build, took my hubby 3 to 4 hours and the Ottoman is not a storage box in the way I expected but can still store things underneath it.

The box has only just been assembled but it seems sturdy and well made. 4 stars because it has not really had a proper test.
