This is a really quick and simple craft but looks really effective. You can make your feathers into garlands, mobiles or decorations. I've also made a video version of this tutorial which you can find here: https://youtu.be/qMbWNi8Fs2I

On the back of your paper draw the outline of a feather (you can use my templates if you like!)
Using the pencil or a knitting needle score along the lines of the feathers shaft (the middle bit.)
Cut out the feather and gently fold along the scored lines from step 2.
Work along the feather cutting from the edge to the line of the shaft to create the feathery bits! My cuts are 2-3 mm apart but you can play with the spacing.
Be careful to keep the central section intact!
The closer together your cuts, the more feathery it will be but also more fragile so if you want a stronger feather space the cuts a bit wider.
