Write an article based on this "Select a sheet of construction paper in a different color. Fold the paper in half lengthwise. Cut out a long curved shape for the feather’s base. Cut a fringe along the outside curve. Unfold the feather and place a little glue on the stem. Glue the finished feather inside the brim of the hat."
Choose another color, like red or yellow, to create the feather. Since the feather shape will be much smaller, you’ll only need an 8.5 by 11 inches (22 by 28 cm) sheet of construction paper. The new dimensions should 5.5 by 8.5 inches (14 by 22 cm). Position the folded paper in front of you so the folded side is on the right. Leave a notch about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long at the bottom right corner (where the fold is) to act as the stem. From there, cut out a long half-teardrop shape to create the basic shape of your feather. The point should end at the very top right corner of the folded paper. Make the feather as long or short as you would like. Remember that the longer the feather is, the more likely it is to droop. Keeping the paper folded in half, cut .25 inches (0.64 cm) slits into the curved edge. The slits should look like lines cut into the paper, not pieces cut out. Space the slits about .5 inches (1.3 cm) apart along the entirety of that outer curved edge.  Make sure to only cut along the open curved edge. Do not cut into the stem or the folded spine. You could also cut triangles into the fringe to make a more varied, jagged edge. On the side that was previously folded inward, place some craft glue along the stem. This will secure the feather to the hat. Open up one brim of your hat and place the stem inside, somewhere around the middle. Tilt the feather so it extends toward the back of the hat or slightly past the back of the hat. Press the brim closed again and hold it in place until the glue dries.
