FINISHING
Ch 3. Keep the loop of yarn on the crochet hook and pull it taught. Do not remove the hook! Hold
the three feathers flat against the ch-3 chain, with the tips of the feathers pointing toward the
eyeball. Tape the feathers around the ch-3 chain to keep them in place, leaving 1 inch of the
stems of the feathers extending above the tape. Then, still keeping the loop of yarn on the crochet
hook, take the free end of the yarn and wrap it tightly around the stem of the feathers, covering
the tape and working from top to bottom.

Fold the stems of the feathers down over the section that was just wrapped in yarn and tape in
place again. Once again, keeping the loop of yarn on the crochet hook, wrap the free end of yarn
tightly around the tape, this time working from bottom to top.

Finishing, cont.

When the entire taped section is wrapped in yarn, begin with the loop still left on the crochet hook
and work 36 ch as usual. Then remove the crochet hook from the last chain and thread the loop
through the holes in the jingle bells (you may need to pull the loop to make it long enough to
thread through the bells, but take care not to rip out the entire ch-36 chain).

Reinsert the hook into the loop and sl st in the first ch of the ch-36. Finish off. Weave in all ends.
If desired, brush a coat of non-toxic white craft glue around the wrapped, taped ends of the
feathers to prevent unraveling. Allow to dry completely overnight.
