To add the gold leaf, apply the adhesive to the bottom of the feather and wait for it to go tacky -follow the instructions on the adhesive for timing.  Apply the gold leaf, and remove any loose bits with a soft dry small paint brush.

I love how these look on the Christmas tree, so delicate and pretty.

They also look beautiful to decorate a Christmas gift.  You could write the recipient's name on with a sharpie marker if you wanted to.

    I love this sooo much! I’ve often found feathers during particularly tough times and feel they’re a signal that everything is going to be okay. So something like this would be perfect for our tree.
