Using a craft knife and a ruler cut the following pieces from cardboard.
1 - 14” x 1 ½” rectangle
2 - 2-inch diameter circles

Trace the cardboard pieces onto the white paper and cut one paper piece for each cardboard piece. Glue the paper to the cardboard. Let dry.

Punch a hole on each side of the rectangle piece ½ inch from each edge.

Using a pencil, sketch a design onto the paper side of the cardboard pieces. Color your designs with markers.

Tie a 12 inch length of string into the holes on the ends of the rectangle band.

Cut 2 6-inch lengths of string. Tie a large knot on one end of each string. String 3 beads on each string. Lay unknotted end of string over the quill of a small feather. Poke the quill of the small feather into the corrugated area of a circle. The quill should help push the string into the cardboard so the cardboard holds both the quill and the string. Trim any excess string.

Glue one circle to each side of the band with the feather and beaded string hanging down.
