| I bought them like this |
 |
| Curled Swords |
 |
| Trimmed Eyes + Curled Swords |
 |
| 1.I stripped all the barb feathers from the vein. |
 |
| 2. Straighten out the eye a bit and hit it flat with the iron for a second or two. Watch it, they burn pretty fierce and fast. |
 |
| 3. I trim the eye. just because I like to. |
 | |||
| 4 Hit it with the iron again. It's ready |
The Swords
 |
| 1 Clean up the all ready stripped side of all the straggly barbs |
 |
| 2 Be careful when you do it by hand, scissors come in handy for this part. |
 |
| 3 Ready |
 |
| 4 Hold the feather with your left hand and use the knife along the vein just like curling ribbon for gift wrapping |
 |
| 5 Curl until you get the right curl for you |
 |
| 6 All curled up |
 |
| 7 Hit it with the iron. Wrap them with some floral tape. Done |

Thanks you two! Expect a call Lolo!! Cristina Thank you! Coming from you means a lot. You are the best. Thank You!
Now I have curled feathers but did not do the iron part. I like what you did with the peacock feathers; much more artful and elegant than just having the long swords flopping about.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Thank You Jill, be careful when you use the iron I've ended up with just spine/vein YIKES!
Beautiful work, as always!! Love it!
Amaizing!
Amazing, I'm inspired!
