My kids found this Kingfisher wing tip out in the yard, and the beauty of it needed to be made into something to commemorate the poor birds life. So todays crafty offering is my Naughty Pussy Cat necklace. You don't need to find a birds wing for this, you could use a groupong of any type of feathers.
Feathers
Matching coloured button
Pussy Cat button
2 split rings
chain
clasp
small amount of fabric
needle and thread
Glue the feathers to the fabric and trim around feathers taking care not to snip the feathers. Glue the cat button to the large coloured button and position at the end of the feathers. with a couple of pins temporarily position split rings on the back of the fabric and place chain on, you are doing this to check for the true centre of balance. You will find that the weight of the buttons will make your feathers point down, if you want them to set across your chest you will need to find true centre. Once you have found your balancing point sew your split rings to the backing fabric, attach chain and you are done
