2. The Driftwood Boho Feather Trio
If you want to bring a touch of the beach or the forest into your living space, the driftwood boho feather trio is an exceptional project. Instead of using a manufactured, perfectly straight wooden dowel, this project utilizes a natural piece of weathered driftwood as the hanging bar. The organic curves and unique textures of driftwood perfectly complement the soft, flowing nature of macrame feathers, creating a rustic, coastal-boho vibe.
Creating macrame feathers, also known as leaves, is surprisingly easy because it does not require any complex knotting sequences. You simply tie short pieces of cord around a central spine cord using simple overhand knots. Once you have filled the spine, you brush out the cotton strands thoroughly using a pet slicker brush or a fine comb. To keep the feathers looking crisp and holding their shape on the wall, spray them generously with fabric stiffener or starch, let them dry, and then trim them into perfect leaf shapes using sharp fabric scissors. Hanging three of these feathers at varying heights from a single piece of driftwood creates a dynamic, eye-catching display.
