In honor of Valentine's Day I wanted to tackle a cute project. As is the story for most of my tutorials - I found this on Pinterest. The original tutorial can be found here.
I plan on using my twig arrow in a photo shoot next week. I'm sure my model will have fun with it.
- Small/medium twig (your preference)
- Felt in desired color (obviously pink make sense)
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbon
I'm aware my "feathers" are sloppy, I free handed it to prove how easy it can be. Pardon the mess in the photo - this is where I create everything. :)
Once you have cut two arrow feathers and two triangles - word of advice, make sure these pieces are big enough to wrap around your twig; I learn from trial and error apparently.
Hot glue your two feathers around your twig evenly. Be cautious not to scorch yourself! I found gluing the bottom of the felt to the twig, then running a straight line of glue up the middle of the felt (not to touch the cuts you've made for the feather look) works best.
Then hot glue your two triangles to the other end of your twig and voila! A felt arrow!
My arrow is not identical to Carolyn's and that's the fun of crafting. You bring a shared idea to the table and walk away with a piece that is all your own!
Thoughts?
Until next time, Craft Happily.
