Put some glue on the end and start wrapping.When you reach the end put some glue on the end too.I wrapped thread 2 times but one time works too.

Threading

I used 2 different threads for this step I found that it looks very different and cool so it's totally optional.

So here we go.It's all about loops.First make a knot at the beginning to secure it.Then make loops all around.When you reach the end make a final loop and make a knot again to secure it.

Loops and Loops

Go halfway through the thread ,make a loop and pull it tight.Then again go halfway,make a loop,pull.You might have to hold the previous loop in case it gets loose.And feel free to add beads along the way.When you reach the end don't forget to make a knot to secrure it.

And More Loops

Make a knot at the bottom and cut one slighly shorter.Put the beads through and keep them on the top.Glue the feathers and when the glue is dry put down the beads.
