Working with about a yard of thread, add a stopper bead with a long tail. We are going to start our feather from the center and build one side up. You will use the tail to build the other side. The stopper bead will help you keep track of orientation when you are flipping your project.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
