How to paint a laser cut wooden feather...

Left, first layer. Center, second layer. Right, third layer of paint.

       Three steps to paint a laser cut feather for our children's tree. Start with a base coat of one dark color. For the next layer choose a related color that is lighter in shade and paint long, thin strokes with a fine tipped paint brush. The lines will be darker in some places and lighter in others. Next use a bright white to highlight with thin strokes in select parts of the feather. Brush the wooden feather with Mod Podge to preserve the colors and hang the ornament from the Christmas branches.
