1. Bohemian Wall Hanging
Style: Bohemian, warm Materials: Peacock feathers (16 in), wooden or metal hoop (like an embroidery hoop), cotton or leather cord, wooden beads, strong glue. Time: 30 minutes
Steps:
- Attach the feathers: Secure 5 to 7 peacock feathers (16 in for an airy effect) to the bottom of the hoop using cotton or leather cord. Vary the lengths for a cascading effect.
- Add beads: Thread wooden beads onto the cords for a natural touch. Secure them with a knot or a dab of glue.
- Hang the piece: Use a cord or string to hang the hoop on a wall or near a window. The feathers will catch the light and create mesmerizing reflections!
Decor tip: Pair the iridescent blue and green tones of the feathers with warm colors like terracotta or beige for a bohemian vibe. Hang it above a sofa or in a reading nook for a touch of wild elegance.
Recommended product: 16 in peacock feathers for the perfect balance of size and visual impact.
2. Elegant Table Centerpiece
Style: Modern, sophisticated Materials: Peacock feathers (10 in), narrow clear glass vase, small decorative stones or colored sand, gold ribbon (optional). Time: 15 minutes
Steps:
- Prepare the vase: Fill a narrow vase with decorative stones or sand to stabilize the feathers and add a chic touch.
- Arrange the feathers: Insert 3 to 5 peacock feathers (10 in for a small vase, 16 in for a larger one) in a fan shape. Slightly vary the heights for a dynamic effect.
- Add a finishing touch: Wrap a gold ribbon or thin cord around the vase to enhance its elegance.
Decor tip: This centerpiece shines in a modern setting with clean-lined furniture (black, white, or gray). The feathers add an organic touch that contrasts beautifully with materials like glass or metal.
Recommended product: Peacock feathers - 10 in for a subtle yet refined look.
3. Bohemian Framed Art
Style: Bohemian, artistic Materials: Peacock feathers (10 to 16 in), photo frame with a white or beige background, hot glue, textured paper (optional). Time: 20 minutes
Steps:
- Prepare the background: Place textured paper (linen, watercolor) or keep the background white for a minimalist effect.

- Secure and frame: Use hot glue to carefully attach the feathers. Reassemble the frame and hang it on the wall.
Decor tip: This frame fits perfectly in a bohemian gallery wall, surrounded by macramé or black-and-white photos. The 25 cm feathers work well for smaller frames, while 40 cm feathers create a bolder visual impact.

- Install the garland: Drape the garland over a shelf, around a mirror, or along a wall. The LEDs will make the feathers sparkle.
- Set the mood: Choose warm white LEDs for a cozy atmosphere or cool white for a crisp Scandinavian vibe.
