Don’t throw out those skins! They can be easily cured into a long lasting piece of wall art or feathers for jewelry or fly tying!
-Wash removed skins in warm water and dawn dish soap
-Rinse in warm water
- Lay flat and CAREFULLY scrap all fats and bits of flesh(the skin tears easily)
-Rub thoroughly with borax and shake off access(salt can be substituted if using for dog training or treats)
-Stretch and pin to cork board or drywall
-Blow dry on cool to fluff feathers and dry completely
-Leave in cool dry environment for 3-4 weeks until skin is firm but flexible and no traces of oils are found.
