Birch Lane

The most glam way to decorate for the holidays? With feathers, of course! It's one of the most dramatic and easiest centerpieces that you will ever make. Plus, unlike flowers they last forever and are much more affordable! Try making a feather arrangement by getting a ton of different colored feathers and arranging them in a silver vase. We are especially loving the feathers that are dipped in gold and silver. If you don't have time to get the feathers, buy a ready-made feathered tree from Birch Lane for only $36.
