Project 2:
Peacock feather tickler. - making time: 10 mins
Materials:
3 peacock feathers
3 largeish beads (it's not the size of bead that matters it's the size of the hole....you have to be able to fit the end of the feathers through it!)
Ribbon
Glue
Wire/string
Method:
Cut the feathers to the lenghth you want them, and trim away the fluffy bits you dont want.
Thread the beads on to each of the three peacock feathers, so that the beads are resting just under the "eye" of the feathers. Place the three feathers together so that the beads are separating them a little. A spot of glue on each bead helps them stay in place.
Then take some wire or string and tie the three feathers together about 1cm under the last bead. Wrap it all the way down to the end of the feathers this holds it all together. Then take a ribbon, fix it with glue just below where you started the string or wire and from there start wrapping the stick part of the feathers together with ribbon, adding glue ever few centimeters to make sure the ribbon does not slip.
That's it, easy peasey! :D





What type of wire did you use? I can't tell from the tutorial.
