I shared a tutorial last week at Green Upgrader on how to make your own vegan feathers for craft projects, and I just stumbled upon these awesome paper feathers from Todolwen that are rocking my socks! She’s got a great tutorial showing you how to make your own paper feathers. She used pages from a hymnal, a dictionary, and a very old German text to make hers, but you could play around with all sorts of reclaimed paper for some really fun effects.

These would be lovely on a dream catcher, as part of a table centerpiece, or maybe even just framed in a shadow box and hung up on the wall!

Have you guys run across any other DIY vegan feathers? Sometimes, I really enjoy finding the vegan workaround for animal products, and with feathers there seem to be lots of cool handmade options out there for making vegan feathers!

I was lucky enough to meet Esther of Paragraph Cove while I was out in Portland for the Summit of Awesome. She was selling at a market near the Summit, and I was pretty much smitten with her wares right away!

She got the project idea from Mark Montano’s Big-Ass Book of Crafts. We’ve actually got some place mats and coasters made with a similar method that my mother-in-law got me for Christmas at Ten Thousand Villages. They’re awesome and very sturdy!

I’ve never made anything with coiled paper, but now I sort of want to give it a whirl! Have any of you guys tried it? What sort of glue do you use? If I had to guess, I’d probably say mod podge, but I’m not sure how that would hold up to moisture over time for say, a coaster set.

I stumbled on this awesome list of ways to reuse old books on Student Hacks this evening. I think my favorite on is this Instructables on turning an old book into an iPod case.
