  Step 1

  Choose three nice feathers and tied them together with a little piece of string. Cut the exceeding string as close as possible to the knot.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut the exceeding feather to keep only the length of the connector. Trim the edge of the feather to make the top as small as possible.

• 

  Step 3

  Put a little bit of glue or Mod podge on the top and the knot of the string.

• 

  Step 4

  Using your finger and the tip of your little scissor, press the glued part of the top in the connector.

• 

  Step 5

  Using the flat pliers, fold the connector on the feathers.

• 

  Step 6

  Insert the connector in the earring loop and close it.

• 

  Step 7

  Voilà! You have one earring. You just need to repeat the procedure to make the second one.

Nikki P. - I think that those foldable connectors are also called cord tips. Just look for the ones that are squared,not round. I found some on eBay, i must buy some too.

Hi, To find nice feathers try hunting and fishing stores in your area. Some of them have feathers to supply the fisherman that craft there own flies!
