Thanks everyone for the ideas. Paint? Thread wrap?? Hand Cramps??? OH BOY!!!! Sounds like I'm gonna have some fun now!!!!!!!!!!!! A wise bustle maker is giving me some pointers over the phone, only problem is he lives in Flordia and doesn't believe in computers!!! He said to thread wrap my dowels, so that's what I'm gonna do. But when it comes time to make my kids bustles, painting them sounds like maybe the way to go. Right now I have 40 dipped immitation eagle feathers, primary wing feathers. I think I'm gonna subtact a few from each side and replace them with some spikes (black I think) and use 2 hand paints for my honor feathers. I'm using white fluffs for the interior and red fluffs for the exterior, white horse hair. Does this sound like a good idea, before I start ordering more feathers and the wife really wants to kill me? LOL
