Materials:
bird feathers - As many as you can gather. Featured feathers were molted by Loose Ends office parrot Roscoe.
Banana Wrap ribbon
aluminum foil
water-soluble white glue
small sponge brush
Steps:
- Place Banana Wrap ribbon on foil.
- Clip spine end of feathers so they're all reasonably the same size.
- Dip spine end of the feather into glue then spread a bit of glue down part of the back of the feather.
- Beginning at the finished end of the ribbon, place feather in a row and continue the rows up the ribbon, filling in the spaces as you go (somewhat like shingling). Continue until the ribbon is desired length or until you run out of feathers.
- Allow to dry overnight.
