Feather shapes are one of those craft staples that come up across so many different projects. Dream catchers, Thanksgiving displays, boho party decorations, classroom activities, journaling pages, and handmade cards all call for a feather at some point. The problem is that drawing one that actually looks like a feather, with the right proportions, takes more skill and patience.
These templates are just the shape, already on the page, ready to print and use. The feathers are already drawn, already printed, and ready to cut out, colour, trace, or use, how the project needs. Five different pages are here, each with a different feather style and layout, so there is something that fits every craft you are making. Download feather templates today and have them ready before your next craft session.
Feather shapes come up in more places than you would think. Teachers reach for them during autumn and Thanksgiving projects when children need something to colour and cut out. Crafters use them as stencils on fabric and felt. Dream catcher makers use them to plan hanging arrangements. Scrapbookers cut them from patterned paper and tuck them into layouts. Parents pull them out on rainy afternoons when a child wants to make something and needs a starting point.
The shape works across all craft projects because it is recognizable, easy to cut, and open enough to take colour, paint, or decoration in any direction.
If you are working on a broader nature or seasonal project, these free printable blank leaf templates are worth keeping with these feather designs for a fuller set of natural shapes to work with.
Three clean feather outlines arranged diagonally across a plain white page, each one a slightly different size. The lines are minimal and sketch-like, with just enough barb detail along the edges to give the shapes character. Colour them in, paint them, trace them onto other materials, or cut them out and layer them however the project calls for. Good for any age and almost any craft use.
Three feathers in grey, arranged in a gentle diagonal cascade down the page. Each one is slightly different in shape. The first on the left is narrower with fine-barb texture along the quill. The middle one is broader with a rounded tip and softer barb lines. The third on the right is similar in shape to the middle but slightly smaller.
Two large feathers, placed horizontally across the page, one above the other, with plenty of space between them. They are wide and full, which gives them a soft, organic look that works well for dream catcher designs, boho decorations, and any project where a more dramatic feather shape is needed.
Four feathers in four clearly different styles, arranged two across and two down inside a bordered page. The upper left is broad and soft with a curved quill. The upper right is narrow and upright with a sharp barb pattern. The lower left is wide and structured with clear parallel barb lines running across the vane. The lower right is slender with a long, curved quill and wispy barb texture at the base.
If you are putting together a full set of shapes for a classroom or craft session, these printable blank kite templates are worth printing with feather designs for any creative session.
Three feathers stacked vertically on a rounded corner page, each one oriented horizontally. The top feather has a segmented structure with rounded overlapping barb sections and a circular tip detail. The middle one is the most streamlined of the three, sleek and elongated with a sharp, pointed tip and clean, minimal barb lines. The bottom one is the widest, with a dense barb detail along the lower edge.
The right template comes down to what the project actually needs. For maximum flexibility and the cleanest cut-out shapes, the simple outlined feathers on the first page are the easiest to work with. For something with more visual detail already built in, the diagonal cascade and the four-style page give you feathers that look more finished straight off the printer.
The large horizontal pair works best for statement pieces and dream catcher layouts. The three-style horizontal page covers the most ground in a single print. Use these templates to take the drawing out of your next feather craft and spend that time on the parts of the project that actually need your attention.
