Feather craft's, anyone?

[BlueBaby]

It seem's that many people have chicken's that have been molting (including mine), and I was wondering if anyone had some type of craft that could maybe use some of these feather's for something or other? If you have some craft hobby that you use these type of feather's for, could you please show and tell us about it? I'd like to get some ideas, as I have many feather's right now.

I know that the pin and neck feathers on roosters(and hens) are used for flys(as in fly fishing)

Yes, I have heard that they are also, but I was thinking that maybe we might have some more inventive people who might of thought of other thing's that could be made with them. The only fishing spots that I have near to me out here in the desert are the man-make so-called lakes in the city parks. Those fish are so small, I don't bother to go fishing there.

If you don’t wanna make flies then you could sell the pin feathers and others on Etsy as “no harm, abuse free, all natural chicken feathers for arts and crafts”

Did you know that chicken feathers are hollow?

Yes, but some people can be pretty crafty with some glue or string.

Back when I had time to be crafty - I used feathers to decorate small dream catchers. Feathers that already had interesting colours/patterns were used as per nature intended, others were dyed.

In New Zealand.. in the Maori culture, it is traditional to weave ceremonial cloaks (korowai) using feathers, which I've always admired for both creativity and beauty. I cannot see any reason why someone couldn't do any other weaving project and incorporate feathers??

I might also suggest, feather boas, feather decorations on hats?
