Feather Curling
Simplest way to curl feathers is by running your fingers over the feather in the same direction repeatedly. This gives a soft curve without breaking the spine.

For a more pronounced curl – use the back of a knife or back of the scissor blade. Start at the tip end of the feather, taking a one or two inch section and pull the blade beneath the under side of the spine. Keep repeating the process until you get the desired amount of curl.

“Walking The Feather”
To give a completely different direction to a feather use the back of a knife or scissors starting at the bottom of the quill and work toward the tip (place the back of the blade firmly against the quill using your thumb – bend the quill in the direction you want it to go taking small bits at a time until you get the curve and direction desired.)

Switch to the other side of the feather and repeat the process.

The amount of movement depends on the length of your feather.
