These are simply made from coloured carded marino wool, sold quite cheaply on ebay and twisted with a black colures pipe cleaner or chenille, also from ebay. No painting no glue and no
mess. I simply folded a cleaner in two, allowing a little to hook over a wing, and slot the coloured wool in the correct order between the to halves. Twist the cleaner around and tease the wool out of the twist to improve the appearance. The three wool colours and pipe cleaners cost less than Ł9 all in, and there is enough to make 100 of them!
SWMBO even let me make them in lounge whilst watching the tV!
