spring/easter wreath

I saw a wreath like this around Christmas time in the stores here in Switzerland and knew I had to make one myself but it took me forever to find relatively cheap feathers so the project kept being put off.

Finally I found the supplies I needed and got to work.

You'll need:*lots of feathers ( I used white ones because everything else was too expensive but it worked out well since the Styrofoam wreath was also white) I ended up using a bit less than one bag of feathers
*Styrofoam wreath with a flat bottom
*beads to match the feathers (mine were 8mm wide and you dont need very many)
*small scissors
*glue gun!

You dont need the whole feather, you want to remove all the fluffy bits so you're feathers look more like the feather on the top right in the picture bellow.

Once you're feathers are ready you can start gluing them to your wreath, I started at the top first and then added two rows of feathers on either side of the top row, it takes some time but it's pretty simple.

After you've added all your feathers just add some beads here and there by sticking them into the feathers, I didn't add any glue in this step because I didn't know how best to do that but it would be a good idea because the beads have a tendency to slip off.
I like how it turned out, now I just dont know where to put it because all my walls are white as well as my front door....so it just blends into everything!! Help!
