Yes you can, but typical "laundry" bleach will destroy the feathers. Here is how to proceed.

Hi Randi, you can use the feathers to make this festive little Christmas tree - https://acraftymix.com/blog/whoville-christmas-tree/
You could use your feathers in dream catchers. I watch a You Tube channel called "Your House A Home". This lady made pictures with feathers. Her art work is beautiful.
I found this online:
''You can bleach feathers by mixing a 1:1 ratio of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide and household ammonia. Let soak for a few hours and sometimes overnight. This is the process that I've used before to bleach out some feathers for fly tying. It won't bleach them to a brilliant "white'' but will definitely bleach them out. ''
Randi: maybe this will help
