Gold Leafed Feather Gift Wrapping Idea | landeelu.comHi! I am Landee and I blog at landeelu.com. I am thrilled to be here on The Crafting Chicks as part of their 12 Days of Christmas series! How fun is this, right? I was excited to get the “Six Geese a-Laying” because I have been loving the feather trend as of late and this gave me the perfect opportunity to play around with some “geese feathers!” I have also loved the gold trend and so I thought I’d combine the two with some Gold Leafed Feather Gift Wrap Idea for this holiday season! Sometimes the wrapping can be just as special as the gift, don’t you think?

If you want to make it yourself, here is what you’ll need:

Gold Leafed Feather Gift Wrapping Idea | landeelu.com

  • feathers
  • kraft wrapping paper
  • white craft paint
  • Liquid Gold Leaf
  • small paint brush and round sponge brush

To make your wrapping paper, start by dipping a round sponge brush in your white paint and then dabbing it on your kraft paper. You can make them nice and evenly spaced or make it a little more quirky by doing it randomly. I went with random. 🙂 Reapply the paint as needed.

Then I shook up my liquid gold leaf and then dipped the eraser of a pencil into it to make some smaller gold dots. I also applied these randomly with some overlapping the white dots as well. (Tip: When I make more of this I will probably just use gold craft paint. The liquid gold leaf left a weird ring around some of the dots.)

For the feathers, I put down a piece of Press and Seal and then started painting my feathers with the liquid gold leaf using a small paint brush. Get creative! This part is so fun!

Then I just wrapped up my gift with my newly polka dotted paper, tied some white twine around it and attached one of my feathers!

    […] Feathers are again quite trendy or they probably are already timeless, often dipped in golden glitter paint or cut out from paper and wash taped. See these tutorials here and here. […]
