FAQ :
How should I layout the arrows in my space? For the flight design, feel free to be creative and enjoy hanging your new art in any style! Here are a few tips :
Lay out the arrows on the floor before hanging them on the wall. This allows you to experiment with different arrangements without committing to any specific placement. (Be careful of the nails!)
Use the largest arrows as the anchors of your design. Position them in a way that guides the overall movement or direction of the design. You can place them in a straight line, a curve, or a pattern depending on your desired effect.
Experiment with spacing: Equally spaced arrows create a calm and orderly feel. Measure the distance between arrows to keep them consistent. For a more dynamic look, vary the angles and distances. Group some arrows closer together and tilt others at sharper angles, smaller arrows are particularly helpful here.
Frequently step back and view the arrangement from a distance. This helps you see the overall effect and make adjustments as needed. Or take a photo to see it from a different perspective.
Once you're happy with the layout on the floor, you can either mark the positions on the wall using painter's tape and a pencil to mark the determined position for each arrow, or just dive right into hanging!

How do I hang my arrows? Our arrows are designed for effortless hanging, ensuring your decor stays securely in place with minimal effort. Here's a simple guide to help you achieve the perfect display :
Alignment: Position the arrow where you want it to be displayed.
Marking: Gently press the arrow against the wall to mark nail placement. For drywall installation, you may press the arrow to embed the nails directly, easy as that! If it challenging to push the arrow into the surface,, proceed to the next steps.
Preliminary Hole: Tap a spare nail into the marked spots and remove it. For plaster, masonry, or other walls: Before mounting the arrow, it's advisable to pre-drill a very small hole using a 1/16” drill bit.
Mounting: The arrow should mount easily with minimal force. Leave it approximately 1/2” away from the wall to enhance depth perception. While securing the nail with caulk or putty can provide extra stability, it's often unnecessary.
What materials are utilized in crafting our arrows? We incorporate a diverse range of natural elements, including:
A beaver stick- Each arrow features a distinctive beaver stick, hand-collected driftwood textured by beavers gnawing on the bark for sustenance. Each stick is unique in shape, color, and pattern.
Arrowhead - Our modern arrowheads are hand-knapped from stone sourced from a collaborator based in Pennsylvania.
Feather - The feather used is from a varietal of turkey.
Thread - We use hand-waxed cotton string to bind and embellish every component of the arrow
Additionally, each arrow is equipped with a set of permanent nails for effortless hanging.
Are your feathers a bit out of shape? No worries! Occasionally, feathers can get ruffled during transit or unpacking. If you can't smooth them out with your fingers, try using a gentle steam to restore their shape. Just be careful not to burn your fingers!"
How long will it take to ship my order? Our standard color arrows typically ship out in 2 weeks. Naturally Dyed & Custom orders may take longer to process.
