I'm not sure how big (or little) these feather are, but my friend showed me how to put them together to wear in the hair.

Sew a piece of hide tightly around the stem of the feather, so that there is extra hide off the end of the stem. This hide should be cut so that the extra hide that will be off the end of the stem is larger than the rest... I guess the hide would be cut in the shape of a lollipop.... thin for the part to be sewn around the stem, with a larger end.

After you sew the hide on the stems, put a slit (hole) in the middle of the extra hide off of the stem. Then take a hide lace and string it through the slits on the feathers, and then tie it in your hair.

My youngest has a hairpiece like this made from small red-tailed hawk feathers.... very pretty.

I was given more feathers to make a similar piece for my older daughter... i just haven't gotten around to it yet.... But I will....
