Here are some directions to help you in making your own wreath:

To make a turkey feather wreath, you will need to start off with a mix of gobbler and tail feathers, a straw wreath form, and a pencil. After gathering these items, place the form on a flat work area. Then, begin inserting the feathers into the form about two-thirds of the way down and three to four inches apart to create the first row. The second row will be about a half inch above the first, and the feathers will be placed a little closer together. Continue these steps until you have four to five rows. You’ll want to use shorter feathers on the last layers to give a more dimensional appearance.

Lastly, attach a bow or other decoration to match the season or the holiday. This element can be changed from time to time to make the wreath blend in perfectly with the holidays or decor.
