Instructions
Step 1
Cut a piece of a wide headband elastic to which the feathers will be attached. Try on and sew on the rim. Embroider the outer side of the headband with beads, glue strips of natural or faux fur to it.
Step 2
Take two pieces of Velcro tape the same length as the elastic and sew one piece to the inside of the rim. Find the right feathers for your headdress. If these are pigeon feathers collected from the street, they must first be soaked in warm water with washing powder, rinsed well and dried.
Step 3
Paint the feathers bright colors or make them mottled like the feathers of birds of prey. Attach them to the headband from the inside, secure on top with a second piece of Velcro tape.
Step 4
Use wide jeans and a long shirt with wide sleeves as the basis of the suit. Sew a fringe to the outside seam of the jeans from the knee down and to the sleeves from the elbow down. The shirt can be replaced with a poncho: take an old woolen blanket or any square piece of fabric of a suitable size, make a cut for the head in the center, you do not need to process the cuts and edges of the cut.
Step 5
Make a necklace of "wolf teeth": mix flour and salt, take very cold water and add portions to the salt flour, kneading each portion. Blind the "fangs", cut holes large enough in them, for example, using a knife to remove the core of apples. Put the products on a baking sheet and place in a cold oven, set the minimum heat and dry the "teeth" for an hour, then turn off the oven, leave the products to cool inside, check the "teeth" for readiness, if necessary, turn them over and dry the same way on the other side … Collect the string on the necklace.
Step 6
Make a bow and arrows from willow twigs, sharpen the arrows and decorate with feathers on the other side. Sew the quiver in the form of a narrow bag with a long belt, decorate it with beads and strips of fur.
