How to use feathers?
The feathers you find on authenticfeathers.com are all natural bird feathers that can be used for many creative activities. We invite you to check out the blog Authentic Feathers, which offers quality content dedicated to feathers and creation with this incredible material.
Feathers for decoration
Natural feathers can be used primarily for decorative purposes: feathers in a vase, wall decoration feathers, or large decorative feathers, such as peacock feathers as bedroom decor, for example. A more design-oriented use can also be considered, for a surprising and very aesthetic result, as done by Mathilde, founder of Atelier des Barbules in Bordeaux. Mathilde creates framed design pieces, showcasing the feather in a very meticulous and minimalist way. Find her work on her dedicated Instagram.
Feathers for hats
Bird feathers are not only used for wall decoration; you can also use them in textile work, millinery is a great example. At authenticfeathers.com, we have many bird feathers which can serve as the base of hats, as well as for bow ties or boutonnieres. Feathers are often seen at carnivals, but they can also and especially be worn daily.
Feathers for arrows
Bird feathers do not always rhyme with decoration and textiles; they can also be used as calligraphy quills for some, writing quills, or even drawing. But craftsmanship remains one of the sectors most interested in this material. Indeed, it is possible to use our feathers for making arrows. Our feathers for arrows have already won over artisans making arrows for the European championship of prehistoric projectile weapons.
Feathers for fly fishing
They are also used for making fishing flies, our smallest feathers are thus used as feathers for fly fishing, sea fishing, or even match fishing.
Feathers for jewelry
Our natural feathers are also used to make jewelry, such as necklaces, earrings and hair pieces. Among all our customers, some stand out for their creativity in the field of jewelry. This is the case with Marion, creator of Mare a Mare, who has given us one of the most beautiful enhancements of our feathers, find her work directly on her website, and browse many unique pieces.
Feathers for dream catchers and macrame
Our dream catcher feathers are also used to create ethnic objects, in their authentic form or more modern: the dream catchers. Feathers compose the majority of these objects since they form the fringe of the dream catcher. You can find superb creations made in France by several of our customers, including Mouna and Laure, creators of Moona Macramé and Anemoon creations.
