Howard, this looks great - and much easier than the directions for making a feather tree. I have a 4' feather tree for my antique ornament collection, but it would be great to make a smaller one for specific ornaments. Will have to watch for the supplies at Walmart next Christmas.

Howard what timing I have been searching high and low for exactly this type of "branches" for months!!! I want to make some trees with the tiny candles and ornaments. I did find some vintage petite glass ornaments on ebay but D Blumchen.com has some great Czech blow glass garland beads

greetings to all...
here's our "faux feather" tree with some simple decorations made from "re-purposed and salvaged" floral pick parts...
my plan is to collect more decorations this coming year...small pine cones, glittered miniature fruit, vintage look paper, etc...
my very best regards...
have a very merry christmas and happy new year!...

Howard, this is adorable. How perfect for a small table. And thanks for the reminder. Christmas supplies should be in Walmart so I'm heading out there tomorrow. Maybe I'll get a tree made for next year.
