Feathers at Christmas

Holiday idea to decorate inside: feather boa

Christmas decorations for inside with feathers are fashionable. So we realized a simple but chic, refined decoration with a feather boa.
It's important to plan it very well. In fact feathers are very beautiful but it's easy to lapse into vulgarity with them.
The first thing is to choose the colour you prefer. We chose purple because it's in the latest fashion.
Then it's necessary to think of the colour scheme. We decided to combine pink in different shades, white and lilac to purple. They're the best colours according to our taste for a chic Xmas ornament for inside.

As you can see in the photo we placed our decorated feather boa around the gilt frame of a mirror. That's cool, isn't it?

We began decorating our feather boa fixing a big purple-coloured Christmas ball in the middle. We helped ourselves with a piece of golden cord. The cord must be thin to hide it easily among the feathers. Look well at the photo: the Christmas ball is iridescent to have the best result.
To have a lighter pot near the ball we fixed a silk poinsettia. Its dark and light pink petals are perfect there, aren't they? Poinsettia is sprinkled with golden colour at its edges. Don't choose Christmas flower too golden. Your Christmas decoration could be showy and not refined.
There are other three big flowers as you can see in the photo. They have dark pink petals and the golden sparkling is focused in the center.
Complete your Christmas decoration with some small flowers distributed in different places. Notice their colours: white and lilac. All their surface is sprinkled with iridescente flakes: very refined!

What about this Christmas decoration?
You can place it in the sitting or dining room, in the hall, around a mirror as we did or around the upstand of a sideboard, on a wall, on the door ...
And then ... you can use again this feather boa for another Christmas decoration idea. Look at this spiral Christmas tree. It's stylish and nice, isn't it?

Note

• - Here are some tips to use your feather boa all year and not only at Christmastime.
• - You can substitute all the Christmas ornaments with simple silk flowers according to the same colour scheme.
• - If you have to plan a celebration party you could lay the table using your feather boa. For example you could pin it to the border of the table cloth if the table is set against the wall for a buffet party.
