Hostess with the Mostess

Personalized Feather Bouquet

Extra-large ostrich plumes are an easy way to create high-impact party décor with minimal effort.

What You’ll Need:
- white vase
- 2 large ostrich plumes
- white gerbera daisy
- white marabou craft boa
- light blue felt
- silver chipboard letter
- hot glue gun and glue
- scissors

How to make it:
Wrap the bottom portion of the vase with felt and marabou craft boa. Personalize the vase by gluing a chipboard letter of baby’s (or mama's) first initial to the felt. Add ostrich feathers and a single white gerbera to the vase and display it on a white table cloth, surrounded with fake snow.
