But in order not to injure the birds by pulling out the most beautiful feathers from their tails, let's try to make them ourselves.

• scissors;
• glue;
• toothpick;
• pencil.

How to make feathers with your own hands? Take a piece of paper, cut a piece of about 15 by 10 cm for a medium-sized feather. Fold it along and draw an arc with a sharp end near the fold. Feathers come in different sizes, some expand towards the end, and some remain even in shape. Drawyou like the shape of the future pen. Cut along the outline.

It remains only to give the workpiece a finished look. Cut into thin strips of the edges, moving from the sharp end at an angle downwards. Do not cut too deep, 2/3 halves.

Feathers are fluffy and even. If desired, give your feather fluffiness, to do this, twist a few ribbons of paper fringe in different directions.

You will need a toothpick for the pen core. From the rest of the paper, cut a ribbon a centimeter wide. Lubricate one side of the ribbon with glue and wrap it around a toothpick. You can also use a match. Glue the finished rod to the product on the fold inside. This will give you a medium sized feather that you can easily use.

Draw the pen by hand, marking the cut points with thin strokes, or use ready-made printed stencils. Cut the feather carefully with small nail scissors, a razor blade or utility knife.
