In reply to Mallory Akers. Try folding one side down part way first, sliding the feather in, then finishing smashing the feather. Also because of the shape of the stem the feather can turn to the side which makes it a bit awkward. I smashed the stem of the feather with pliers when this happened so it would lay flat. I hope that answers your question!

I guess it’s just because this is the first time ever doing something like this, but I had a VERY hard time folding over the sides of the crimp. I couldn’t keep the feather in place while I folded it and the way the stem? of the feather wasn’t completely flat made it hard to fold in the first place.
I don’t know. I’m going to keep trying. Like I said, this is my first time ever doing it so I’m sure it just takes practice.
Any suggestions?

[…] Beary Box – This shop has lots of the bulk feathers that are shorter and come in packs of a few hundred. Also they have the longer extension feathers for a good price. Shipping takes a little while but the product is great. This is also the shop that sells the Peacock Feathers I used in my Peacock Feather Earring Tutorial. […]
