Begin by measuring the circumference of your staff at the point where your handle will be. In this example, the staff is 4 inches around. Cut a piece of leather as long as you want your handle to be by the measurement of the staff's circumference. The height should be at least the width of your hand plus a few inches. I chose 8 inches. the resulting piece of leather will therefore be 4"x8".
	On the inside of the leather, draw lines every inch across the height of the handle (the 8" side). Draw a line 1/4" from the edge along the height of the handle. Punch a hole where each of these lines intersect. These holes will be where you will lace the handle to the staff. Draw another line 1/4" from the bottom, and punch more holes every inch. These holes will be used to hang your feather strands.
Cut lengths of lacing in assorted sizes - one for every hole you made along the bottom of the handle. Onto one end of the lacing, string a large bead. Fill the remaining hole with a few feathers and super-glue into place. You can leave just the beaded end, or you can add beads and feathers along the length of the lacing. Remember to leave enough lacing empty at the back end in order to thread the lacing through the holes.
	Thread your strands of feathers through the holes across the bottom of the handle. Close the strands by attaching another bead and bunch of feathers to the back of the strand. The strand should now be captive on the handle.
Cut two pieces of fur that measure 1 inch high by the circumference of the staff (1"x4").It is better that you cut a bit too long rather than a bit too short. Use Leather Cement to glue these two pieces of fur to the top and bottom of the handle, on the right side. You may want to stack a book on top of the handle with some weight to press it flat while drying. Once the glue is dried, you can trim the edges of the fur to match the leather.
	Cut a piece of of lacing, sinew, yarn, ribbon or other lacing material four times the height of the handle (4x8"=32"). Lace the handle through the holes along the sides, criss-cross style. Tighten the lacing, then tie a knot in the bottom and cut off the ends.

And finally, the finished product

Have Fun!
