The macrame feather is one of the lightest and smallest macrame projects there is. But not only is it particularly quick and easy to make, it is also particularly suitable for utilising leftovers. The feather is surprisingly versatile in its use: whether as a small wall hanging, as a key ring or to decorate larger wall hangings. In this macrame feather tutorial, I will show you three ways to knot this feather.
The patterns are organised according to difficulty level, although all of them are doable for beginners.
I have knotted the feathers on small branches, but you can also use key rings or leave the ends unattached.
So get knotting!

Basically, you need a long cord that is at least twice as long as your desired feather length and several short cords that are slightly longer than the width of the feather.
This feather has a cord thickness of 5mm and a final size of 10cm wide and 14cm long. I used a 32cm cord and 13x 15cm long pieces of cord.

When you are ready, you can brush the ends with a comb or a cake fork (this works surprisingly well) so that the ends twirl up.

First, we make a double half-loop around a branch or similar with the doubled long cord. Or you can simply leave the cord doubled without a branch or similar.
