My son and daughter-in-law have a peacock, a peahen, and just recently, their first peachick! (The chick’s name is Pea-Diddy;-) Of course, they collect peacock feathers off the ground whenever they find them. Since my daughter-in-law is pretty crafty, I decided to round up several tutorials for making gorgeous peacock feather decorations. (Friends of theirs are getting married this summer and the color scheme for the wedding is… you guessed it, peacocks! Hopefully they’ll get some decorating ideas here!)

Peacock feathers are considered good luck. Hindus believe they bring prosperity into a home decorated with them. So with that in mind, let’s get started. By the way, don’t worry if you don’t know anybody with peacocks. You can buy peacock feathers online or at craft stores for around $1.00 apiece.

Peacock Feather Decorations for the Table

Although this napkin fold isn’t made using peacock feathers, I thought I’d throw in this peacock napkin fold tutorial from Sondra Lyn At Home.

The above napkin fold would complement any peacock-themed party or wedding, especially if you used a shimmering napkin such as Bright Setting’s Majestic napkins. They come in 39 glorious colors that simulate Dupioni silk. The Royal, Emerald, Purple, and Turquoise fabrics would look especially good on a peacock-themed table:

Underneath all those beautiful peacock table decorations, try a Bright Settings’ Peacock tablecloth. This polyester fabric is durable and easy to launder. The beautiful jewel-tone feathers on a black background look majestic. For a quick centerpiece, add peacock feathers to a jewel-toned or gold vase. Not only will the peacock feathers make your house look beautiful, they’ll bring you good luck and prosperity too!
