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!
