Follow our step-by-step tutorial for clear instructions and tips to craft a stylish, whimsical feather wreath that adds texture and personality to any space. Let’s get crafting!

There’s something so satisfying about making something with my own hands and seeing it come to life in my home. I love retreating to my little craft room, gathering up supplies, and letting creativity take over. Sometimes I plan ahead, but more often than not, I just dig through what I already have—random bits of ribbon, leftover paint, scraps from past projects—and see what I can create. Thrift stores are a goldmine for this kind of crafting; you never know what you’ll find that can be transformed into something beautiful.

My latest little glue gun action resulted in this fun feather wall hanging that I think has a nice little tribal, coastal, bohemian vibe to it.  I love that it combines feathers with my coastal decorating vibe. Because I could also say it is a DIY seashell wall decoration. There are as many seashells in there as there are feathers.

I am sure you have seen with feather wall hangings before. They are quite the thing at the moment and I love that you can’t go wrong with a project like this. Just a few supplies are all that you need to create this eye catching wall hanging.

This latest project is a new take on a tried and cherished old project. The juju hats feather wreaths I made years ago are still going strong. I had some of the white feathers left, but not enough for another full juju wreath, so I rumbled around in my craft room to see what I could use to combine with those lovely white feathers.

The solution came when I came across my stash of sea shells and capriz discs, and I took it from there. The luckiest find was that little piece in the center of the feather wreath. It came from a thrifted beaded belt that I bought eons ago and forgot about completely. I had a hart time finding my capriz discs so I had to go through ever nook and cranny of my craft space to locate them and in the process came across this thrift store belt. Lucky find.

Let me share how you can make your own feather wall decor with a touch of beach and boho style.

I have seen many variations of this tribal feather wall hangings already. Some use big shells, some a lot of tiny ones and I have even seen ones that are just feathers and a doily (loving that look too). But I decided to use what I had on hand and go with that. 

The steps are very easy and I am sure you can figure it out all by yourself. But this is how I did it.

How to create a feather wall hanging in a couple of easy steps

Step 1: Cut a cardboard circle. I used a breakfast plate as a template.

Step 2: With your hot glue gun glue two circles of strung feathers to the outer edge of the cardboard. I pleated the first layer to add a bit of volume and then simply glued the inner circle beneath it. 

Step 3: Add inner layers of capriz discs, shells in various sizes or beads in a pattern that you like. Just try a few options and once you are sure you like it, glue it all on with the hot glue.

Step 4: Finish it all off with some center piece. This could be a anything that will work, like a large shell, a wooden disc, a tiny doily, or a buckle from a belt like I used.

Step 5: Add a hook to the back. I taped a bit of string with some duck tape in a loop and that works just perfectly.

My latest bohemian feather wall hanging pairs wonderfully with another fun craft project I finished recently. Do you spot that concrete bead garland in the image above?

That is a super fun, and easy DIY too. A home bead garland is such a fun decorating accessory, you can use it in so many ways.
