[Source]I liked them so much I wanted to make my own and I found this great DIY that Danielle did over on her blog Thompson Family-life!
Danielle had three different options to decorate your dowels that make up the arrows: painting, covering with japanese masking tape and covering with fabric scraps. She also shows a variety of items for adding feathers: real feathers, cut felt feathers and a PDF of vector feathers, so you can download and print at home. Danielle finished her arrows by adding an eraser top to the end.
It was super easy and fun!
I made four arrows; which I painted and made my own feathers out of felt. I didn't use eraser ends. I finished my arrows off with tape and placed then in my jar of buttons!
Enjoy!
