Dressing up Feathers with Divine Twine

Supplies Used:

• Divine Twine grey solid
• Divine Twine red solid
• Divine Twine natural solid
• Medium feathers (variety of colors)
• beads (variety of colores)
• scissors

So I am a Cub Master, and recently put together an Arrow of Light ceremony for a couple of Webelos.  The ceremony I used included feathers and I wanted to dress them up.  So I looked up how to wrap feathers. (website included below)

I first tried wrapping the feathers with leather strips but it wouldn’t hold.  So I decided to try it with my divine twine and the results were perfect.  First I would wrap 1-2 feathers together and then add the beads to the tails at the end.  I left a big enough loop at the top to go over the arrow head.

Thanks!
