Sit back and enjoy.
First the list of things you will need. You will need a batch of feathers (ground, but not chopped), a ceramic or metal container , a pack of Koolaid (color of your choice) 2 cups of water and 1 cup of vinegar.
Mix the vinegar and water in the container and bring to a boil. While waiting for the mix to boil run HOT tap water in the sink, add a small squirt of dish soap and insert your batch of feathers. This helps remove all the blood and dirt from the feathers.
Once the water/vinegar reach a boil, remove from the element and add the Koolaid. Making sure to stir it well so there are no clumps.
Remove the feathers from the sink and submerge in the dye( soap and all- no need to rinse them off). Use a small fork to completly submerge all the feathers so they dye evenly. I leave my feather in the bath between 8/10 mins.
Once you are satisfied with the color, remove one feather at a time and run it under cold tap water. This removes all the excess dye from the feather.
Lay the feathers on a paper towel or some news paper and allow them to dry over night.
Once dried they are ready to be chopped/burned to the shape of your choice.
Here is a batch i did for a fella not too long ago.
And here is the net result.
Any question please feel free to ask. Bill
