Hanging Banner
Feathers always give me a feeling a being a free-spirit, and who doesn't need that every so often. Once hung, this little DIY banner is giving me jus that feeling when I look at it!
I started with the pre-made banner and chose my ink colors.
Using the feather transfer, I added blotches of color randomly across the leave patterns...
This created the mottled, organic feel that I was going for.
I added the same colors of ink to the transfer on the banner.
I cut the feathers out using my pinking shears. With extra cotton fabric scraps I just randomly added more paint and cut them out too to the size of each feather made with the transfer.
The hand-made ones were placed behind the "real" feather and glued together.
I secured the pairs of feathers to the bottom of the banner and it was done! To "set" the ink, I took parchment paper (above and below the banner) and heat-set it for about 3" per side over medium heat.

Have a question about this project?
You will be able to tell, how much of a beginner I am when I ask, what is the heat source? You mentioned “HEAT,” somewhere throughout, and I felt so very lost.
Id love, to make a nice feathery banner for my, granddaughter, who will be born in February. 🌸🌷🐇🏩💞
