The holiday decorations are often the most simple charming. For an elegant look contemporary holiday, create your own crown of feathers, tree and table-top decorations.

crown of feathers are a big trend in decorating Domestic and they are stunning accessories for the entire season. They are absolutely spectacular put on a fireplace, centered on a large mirror on a door or hung carelessly on a chair.

crown of feathers of the festivals are graceful yet quite easy to do. Trim any excess fuzz or unwanted advice outside feathers. Sort by size and length.

Begin by gluing feathers similar length horizontally along the four sides outside the square Styrofoam base. Using a glue gun with glue Low temperature glue on feathers flat on their length, side by side in Two Rows. Do the same thing to cover the square opening of the base of the crown.

To cover the front surface base of crown, apply a row of feathers along the center, a collage of both side by side, but only the tip part. Start one end and work your way throughout the base. Add a second layer of feathers to overlap the first row in the same way, but this time along and around Opening the border to the center of the base.

Once completed, check the crown, you might need to get some feathers with glue a little more. If you wish, you can get a loop of wire at the back of the wreath for hanging.

To finish, I added a plain, satin chocolate ribbon with a deep bow.

A crown of feathers last for years. Each holiday, you can give it a new look just Decorating with a variety of different accessories. Leave the wreath plain or include an assortment of colorful decorations such as miniature balloons, fresh ivy, a bird with feathers, clusters of berries, bows and ornaments creating thread.

If you use the crowns of feathers outside, make sure to place them under a covered porch area to avoid direct sunlight or snow. You want a crown of feathers for each season to hang on a door on a wall or a mirror. They make wonderful gifts, too.

Tree Table: To make a tree small cone covered with feathers, start by applying a row of feathers with a glue gun at the bottom of the cone, and continue to add rows stacked up feathers the base of the cone is completely covered all the way up. To minimize costs, you can buy a cheap feather boa, a safe end the base with florist pins or glue, wrap it around the cone and back to the end of the set on the base.

I applied family photos of Christmas past on the self-hardening clay circle and square shapes to create a tree advent calendar and attaches to a tree table with white feathers using decorative pins.

Variations: party crowns of feathers can also be very dramatic in other colors as the plume, maroon, red, pink, purple, brown, green, you get the picture. color or mix and mix for two tone or colorful presentation.

crown of feathers can elegantly decorate a scale of decoration, be used as a basis for a large candle which is inside a hurricane or a plain glass vase base. Use feather crown to your home decor all year, a key super cute on bedroom doors of young children, such as Baby Pink or purple.

Using feathers as accents to cut napkin rings, or through each table setting, garnish the top of Christmas stockings and gifts.

Blues Caravan: Guitars & Feathers $12.78 Europe's Ruf label has a history of packaging blues artists, especially women, together for tours, and this one, recorded live in Bonn, Germany in January, 2008, works especially well. Newcomer Dani Wilde joins veterans Candye Kane and Deborah Coleman (the latter had been part of the previous Ruf blues package) for a rousing performance of blues and soul that condenses and displays the finest attributes of each artist. The tour borrows its name from Kane's 2007 Guitar'd and Feathered album, but it's the U.K.'s Wilde who makes the strongest impression, perhaps because she's somewhat of an unknown entity (her debut was not available in America as of this album's appearance, yet had been released in Europe). As in the past, the performers open and close the concert together, then concentrate on individual sets with a terrific road band backing up each one. The proceedings kick off in strong form with the trio's cover of Ray Charles' defiant "Won't Leave," trading off lead vocals. That drives the raw, party groove for the remainder of the show. Wilde's opening four original songs feature her guitar, but it's her growling, insistent vocals, somewhat similar to those of Janis Joplin, that are such a revelation. She hisses, yowls, croons and snarls her way through a set that ends too soon with the nearly six-minute slow blues of "I Love You More Than I Hate Myself" an unanticipated highlight of the night. Following that would be a challenged for anyone, yet Kane tries her hardest, strutting her way through typically sassy, double entendre jump blues-influenced music that reprises three songs from her recent disc and closes with the appropriately titled "Toughest Girl Alive." Fun and frisky. Coleman appears next, churning out sharp guitar to Luther Allison's "Fight" and ZZ Top's "Jesus Just Left Chicago," some inspired, even unusual covers that she stamps with her unique voice and rugged solos. The trio returns for raucous versions of "Something's Got a Hold of Me" and a rollicking ten-minute "Whole Lotta Love" that starts as a shuffle then shifts to Led Zeppelin's well-known arrangement to help close this high energy gig on an appropriately rowdy note. ~ Hal Horowitz, Rovi Performers: Candye Kane - Vocals; Dani Wilde - Vocals, Guitar; Deborah Coleman - Vocals, Guitar; Laura Chavez - Guitar; Michael Griot - Bass
