Designed by Corinne Bradd, this decoration is ideal for the autumn season. All you need is sturdy card (a cereal box is ideal), coloured and patterned papers, scissors, glue and a little bit of ribbon or twine. Follow these easy photo steps and you can whip one up in an afternoon!
• 1. Cut a 17cm circle of card. Trim an 8cm circle from the centre to make a ring
• 2. Cover the ring with wide strips of coloured paper, folding the ends and sticking to the reverse
• 3. Fold pieces of coloured paper in half and cut long leaf shapes from the crease
• 4. Open out the pieces and use sharp scissors to cut notches in the edges
• 5. Re-crease the fold and glue the bottom of the large feathers to the ring
• 6. Add more feathers, spacing the different colours out equally around the ring
• 7. Cut several smaller feathers and notch in the same way
• 8. Place these in front of the large feathers
• 9. Cut tiny feathers from patterned papers to make a final ring. Add a ribbon hanger to the reverse
