Feather Boa Boas
Anyone know where to get instructions to make a feather boa?
Lots and lots of chicken feathers — I know feather boas are generally ostrich or turkey, but want to use these feathers for something. I have done some basic searches on the web to no avail. Have found references in sales materials, but no actual instructions or examples. Not sure which category to put this in — beauty and style may have been a better choice… but I thought more along the lines of sewing.
this is the most relevant info i could find:
“To make a feather boa, the feathers are first stripped from their main stems. They are then sorted by size and sewn onto reinforced braiding to make the boa itself.
Many different types of feathers can be used in making feather boas. These include ostrich feathers, turkey ruff (feathers from under the turkey’s tail), marabou (feathers from the turkey’s hip), chandelle (feathers from the turkey’s back), coque (feathers from a turkey rooster’s tail), swan, and peacock feathers. Turkey ruff, swan, and peacock feathers are large, soft, and heavy, which means that feather boas made from these feathers are often too hot to wear indoors at room temperature.”

Which sounds like a LOT of work.
How about making portable/disposable dog beds with the feathers, instead?
