   Keep the loop of yarn on the crochet hook and pull it taut.
   
   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. , 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. , 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. , 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). , 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. ,
