Decorating with Pheasant Feathers

I love decorating with pheasant feathers, and I see that a lot of you do too, however I don't like the high price at the craft stores.

Just a few feathers makes any arrangement look more elegant.









 So I went on a quest to find some affordable  feathers and I found some.  I thought I would share with you so you can have some also. 


orientaltrading.com

They have a pack of 24 long pheasant feathers for $10.00 .  That's a great price and they had super reviews.  So I ordered some, can't wait to get them.  I plan on using quite a few in my Christmas decor.

So, if you are in the market for some feathers, they have several kinds and the prices are all very good.  I am not paid by them, just thought it was a good deal and wanted to pass along the info.

    Perfect timing Marty!! I was just thinking about how I would like to add some feathers to the top of the Christmas tree in our bedroom but didn't want to spend the money. Thank you so much for passing along the tip and I can't wait to order some! :) Your arrangements look beautiful!

    I saw another blog about pheasant feathers today, too. My hubby's grandmother decorated with them back in the 50's & 60's. I'm thinking she was ahead of her time.

    I love pheasant feathers and use them year round. I've acquired a lot over the years by purchasing them when they're on sale at Hobby Lobby. thanks for the suggestion of Oriental Trading. I didn't know they sold home decor type stuff. I'll check them out. That's a great deal for $10.

    I too love using pheasant feathers. They are plentiful in my Christmas decor, this year. I am also drawn to Peacock feathers lately. I lucked out and found both at an affordable price, in a small market, but have seen that the more popular they become, the more expensive they seem to be!

    My grandmother also used feathers. Her decorations were beautiful like yours.

    The table settings look amazing!

    Pheasant feathers are so unexpected and classic. There is a subdivision in our town called Pheasant Run. They had a Christmas homes tour there and one of the houses had pheasant feathers all over the place! Yours are wonderful and add just the right touch. Happy Thanksgiving Marty! (I hope you got my check...)
