Pilgrim & Indian Table Decor

I couldn’t stop there… so I made some matching cup cozies 🙂

Keep reading for more pictures & the full tutorial!

I started by cutting a pattern for the pilgrim hat and feather pieces… {I totally freehanded these the first time, then just cut the rest from the original shapes.} Then I assembles the pieces together with hot glue, and attached them to the napkin rings. Aren’t they cute?

Here’s how I made the feathers:

I cut all my feather shapes first. Each feather has 3 pieces: large feather {base}, smaller feather {teardrop shape}, and center vein. To create the feather effect, I started cutting small slits in the sides {starting at the tip of the feather and working my way down each side at an angle.} Repeat the same process for the smaller feather, and attach all 3 pieces with hot glue.

The feathers were my favorite {and so fun to make!} So I decided to make some cup cozies featuring them:

These projects were so simple to make! Your kids could totally help out, and if you didn’t want them using hot glue, fabric or tacky glue would work great too.
