Decorate the outer circle

Refer to Fig. 1 for placement of the vane us beads and feathers. Begin with a 40" length of leather lace for the hanger Leaving a 7" tail, tie the hanger length at point A using two overhand knots (see Fig. 2). Thread three beads onto the tail and tie an overhand knot at point 3 (about 5-1/2" down from point A). Slide the shafts of three feathers through the beads to secure them in place. Next, thread on two sets of the seven-bead combination identified as C and V in Fig. 1. Leave about 15-1/2" of (ace and then tie the remaining length to the silhouette at point E, again using two overhand knots. Thread beads and feathers onto this tail same as for the first, tying an overhand knot at point F.

From the remaining leather lace, out two pieces T long and one piece 10" long. Thread the bead combination identified as O in Fig 1 onto one of the 7" lengths, then lay one end of the lace against the back side of the shaft of one of the simulated eagle feathers. Tip: the shaft of these feathers may need to be trimmed to allow the beads to slip over them. Soak the end of the shaft in hot water for a few minutes to soften, then use a sharp knife to remove part of the shaft on the back side of the feather only (see Fig. 3). Remove only enough length to acoommodate three or four beads. Pull the beads down to lace and onto the shaft to secure. Run the other end of the lace through the silhouette from front to back and thread the loose end through he top bead in the combination to secure (see Fig. 4). Repeat with the second 7" length at point H.

At point I, thread the appropriate combination of beads onto the 10" length of lace and secure in the same manner as for points O and H. Trim off any excess lace from all
