Cut the shape out of the foam, spray the adhesive and let it tacky up, press it down, paint around it, peel it off, done! Maybe touch up edges with a small art brush if there's bleeding, but I think it would be less of a pain than the duct tape sheets turned out to be.<br /><br />I also wonder, if you cut out several of the feather shapes from the foam and glued them together so they were rigid, if you could then stamp the feather onto the canvases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-69523878681403417302013-06-10T16:28:25.014-06:002013-06-10T16:28:25.014-06:00Thanks for the link Marquette!

The method I finally landed on only meant I only had to tie the strip to the top wire, wind it around the vertical wires, and then tie it at the very bottom when I was done...so there was MUCH less tying and frustration.
