This is so impressive. A great tribute to Native American culture, and their craftsmanship that if not kept alive like this, would be lost... Great craftsmanship and detail! - Jim
My distant Grandfather (before he passed gracefully) had shared out the feather’s of his headdress to my brothers and I. I remember him telling me in order to have a headdress, I must earn each feather, sadly, he had dementia and was living in the past, not realising we don’t live by the old rules of our tribe. We don’t wear headdresses, although we can if we want to. I still have the feather he gave to me, and seeing this gorgeous headdress you created in this video really hit me with a wave of nostalgia. Thank you ❤️
To the person who commented on this being a “Toy”. What person would invest this much love and time into creating something so beautiful just to be used as a toy! I’m am eternally grateful to see this beautiful example of amazing creative workmanship. Maybe this will be used in a Native American celebration.
Not sure...how we are a forgotten culture??? There are still very much natives alive today.....we mostly live on the rez but then again our land is occupied.
Amazingly beautiful, thank you for sharing! I was looking for a tutorial to make a feather Headdress for my grandson’s upcoming birthday of 3 years old and found this. A bit too sophisticated for a toy in toddler’s hands, but very inspiring! Loved the fabrication of the leather bonnet! ✨🌟⭐️🙏🫶🙏⭐️🌟✨
I'm an Algonquin native American this is very beautiful each bead and each feather each stich on a head dress can mean something or represent an achievement you earn the head dress you shouldn't just wear one for the fun of it or to copy native Americans. This head dress is very beautiful and very crafted.
Great video showcasing the preservation of Indian culture, but can we have another video in fast forward for people who don't have much time but still want to appreciate the finer things in life.
This isn’t preserving “indian” culture this is an imitation.....there is protocol and deep meaning when it comes to using feathers and headdresses, handed down generation, to generation to this day. It also goes to show that all people know still to this day is that stereotypical “plains indian”.
Thank you for this. My son wants to become part of the Micosay dancers and will need to make his own attire. It looks like it might take us awhile, but the instructions are good. Thankfully Tandy leather is just down the road.
I loved this video because I am making an Indigenous headpiece for myself, needed some tips and really appreciated the time, patience and love you put into it. ✨💚✨
I've got to tell you... it's a decent representation of one of the nations.... I had the opportunity of viewing and wearing one up close and personal. ... You do very good crafting. ... I'm Mohawk and Apache bloodline. Would love to see you do more . 🦅 🦉
Thank you for sharing, your bead designs are very similar to our taniko designs. The colors I have seen merge beautifully, the feathers and fur adornments are beautiful also. Mauri ora, from New Zealand.
That's fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing. I always wondered how they were made. It looks like fun. Watching this makes me want to try to make one myself. 👍
Amazing masterpiece! can i know the names of the instruments that you used for punching a hole & cutting the leather? Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Fernando Odulio Thank you so much for your comment. For the holes, I used a size 4 diamond hole punch and for cutting leather, a scapel but you can any thin and sharp blade. I hope it helps. Thanks for watching !
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, you inspire me so much, can i know as well the name of the tool that you used for guiding the edge of the leather?
This is absolutely incredible I am trying to make 5, Apache, Shawnee, Choctaw, Navajo, and Sioux. Please link some/all of the materials or where to get some if you see this!! Great work
2 days ago I found feathers of a big bird, probably a in eagle. I watched this video two years ago for no reason. And when I found the feathers I remembered the video. Now I am planning to make this headdress, not exactly as shown on the video but I will do my best. I would love to share my result with you if I have chance.
Thank you for remembering!! And yes I would love to see your work when it's finish. Please send me an email when you're done at theredsmith@hotmail.com ! Thanks!!😊
This is absolutely amazing I've wanted to buy one online for ages. I wanted to make sure it was authentic, good materials and not flimsy fancy dress prop. You have inspired me to make this as you have. I have a knitting loom I will use to make the beading. Can you tell me which tools I need to buy (the metal thing you used to make a perfectly equal edge around the sides) and (the metal fork looking thingy) and anything else you recommend. Also how many of those individually wrapped feathers did you prepare for this head dress?? Thank you soo much for sharing this and keep up the amazing hand leather work you genius.
Thank you Natalia. Your comment made my day. I made a full tutorial on Instructables for this build. You will find in it all the tools names and some details and explanations to help you build your own. Here is the link : www.instructables.com/id/Native-American-Headdress-War-Bonnet/ I prepared 50 feathers but it was too many. I can make two or three headress with that. You only need around 15. Have a great day and thanks for watching ! :)
The Redsmith your welcome I hope your having a great day. I will be sure to check it out and will put up a picture when i have made mine. Thank you again amazing videos, looking forward to see what you make next.
Thank you for your work! It's very impressive and beautiful! Could you please tell me how much of beads of each sort is needed? I see 2 packs of every type, but I think that you used much more of the white ones. Thank you in advance!
Thank you very much. Honestly I can't remember how many I bought or used. But if you lay down your pattern on paper as I did, it's easy to count how many you will need of each. Hope it helps a little.
I've always wanted to make one as a display piece, but I would use the hand painted feathers, with white fluffs and white fluffs also on the tips, with horsehair. And ermine for the side ornament fur. There is a wonderful instruction on how to make them in a book by Ben Hunt. Indian Crafts and Lore. You can find the used vintage book on ebay. Combine that with your leather skullcap, would look nice. I'm not native, so no real eagle feathers for me. I was always excited by the war bonnets as a kid, as it reminded me of our amazon parrot when he was excited or aggressive and would flare his crown of head feathers. He hated me, so when he flared them, he was ready for war! They also spread their tail feathers. I do love how parrots "gift" their feathers to you by molting.
Thank you. It took me five days total, building + filming + editing + uploading. All the products used are listed in my Instructable here : www.instructables.com/id/Native-American-Headdress-War-Bonnet/ Thanks for watching.
It took me around 30 hours of work + video editing. You're right, when you have experience, it's faster, but this was a first for me and the beaging / feathers preparation took a very long time. Thanks for watching ! :)
I am so impressed, and inspired to make this! You did an incredible job. I am scared to do this myself, and feel it will take me year to do it, but it will be an enriching experience that will make me feel empowered in the end. Thank you for sharing this video! It will an invaluable guide for me!
Thank you very much. I'm glad you got inspired by this build and video. Don't be scared to try it. I was myslef as it was the first time I did it, but if you go slow it will be all fine. It took me a whole week to make it, but it was totally worth it. Please try it, and then send me a picture :) Have a great day and thanks again for watching.
Thank you for uploading! I will try to do it with other materials because i don´t have the tools to work with leather. I think i go for felt or smth like that
I am soooo glad that someone with that art in the hands takes the time to record that impressive job and uploade it. THANK YOUUUU.😀 I could never sell one of them. After sooo many hours of work and love put in every little detail, there is no enough money to pay it. God bless your hands👏
Thank you, that's very kind of you. It's true It took me hours to make, and despite many offers, I didn't sell it. I'm really happy you liked the video. Thanks again for your kind words :)
not quite sure it's up to traditional standards but it still is a very nice headdress you use a lot of modern tools and glues such as sienna acrylate that did not exist
I really enjoy this, my dad side of the family is native american and I'm also half blooded native American and from my mom side I'm Greek. From a yinug age my parents and dads family always got me native american stuff and it became an ordinary thing to get growing up and always loved ut and had a strong connection to the stuff. But with all the controversies surrounding about it, it kinda scares me to even show it anymore. What I once loved feels like everyone is seeing it offensive, i can't remember what tribe my family is from i want to say Cherokee, like what if a random person sees my native american decorations my family gave me over the years finds it offensive, daying im not native american enough to have it, i have told that one before by someone in a group chat. For the longest time ive been looking for a headdress but kinda scared to buy one and get backlash from it. I also paint and make native american deer skulls but i dont sell them at all they're just my little projects to make with the animals skulls i found in the yards due to living up in heavily forest area. But over time I just dont know what offensive and not anymore i tried researching but it looks like nothing but opinions from everyone. I always speak how native americans ways are better and I believe in their ways too because it seems right to me, and it feels likes it is right and having no doubt in my mind but it could be how my dad's side of the family has taught me. My grandfather is full blooded Indian, he and my dad exposed me from a young age of every native american stuff amd it always stuck with me. I just want advice and help qith whats not offensive and what is. That would help greatly
It's part of your culture, your heritage and to sum it up, what you are. Having different roots and two cultures is not easy, but I'm sure that if you follow your heart, you'll know what to do. That process is part of building yourself. It is important and worth it. My thoughts are with you.
Pretty neat, you should try to do an authentic 1, be a cool thing to see and do. The way they used to do it. Obviously not with buffalo hide or eagles though
Beautiful. I'm making a head dress and was wandering about the leather. Thinking it is Veg leather?? What ounce do you use? Tried to use this but link but it isn't working .Thanks Candace
Thank you very much. I used soft hide instead of veg tan leather. Much easier to work with and soft when you wear it. I think it was 5-6oz if I remember correctly. Apparently they removed the tutorial from Instructables website. Sorry...
This is so impressive. A great tribute to Native American culture, and their craftsmanship that if not kept alive like this, would be lost... Great craftsmanship and detail! - Jim

Looks pretty convincing. It must be also the string running through quills of feathers. it prevents feathers from falling forward.

My grandfather is full blooded Indian, he and my dad exposed me from a young age of every native american stuff amd it always stuck with me. I just want advice and help qith whats not offensive and what is. That would help greatly
It's part of your culture, your heritage and to sum it up, what you are. Having different roots and two cultures is not easy, but I'm sure that if you follow your heart, you'll know what to do. That process is part of building yourself. It is important and worth it. My thoughts are with you.
I’m Native American and I got to say you earn it
Thank you very much for your comment, it means a lot to me.
Pretty neat, you should try to do an authentic 1, be a cool thing to see and do. The way they used to do it. Obviously not with buffalo hide or eagles though
Maybe one day. Thanks for watching!
Artificial feathers aren't uncommon for us these days

Beautiful. I'm making a head dress and was wandering about the leather. Thinking it is Veg leather?? What ounce do you use? Tried to use this but link but it isn't working .Thanks Candace
Thank you very much. I used soft hide instead of veg tan leather. Much easier to work with and soft when you wear it. I think it was 5-6oz if I remember correctly.
Apparently they removed the tutorial from Instructables website. Sorry...
SWEET!!!
Thank you Lonnie !
