Helmet plumes

(1/4) > >>

Leganoth:
How do you plume a helmet? I want to plume my great helm but what holds the plumes and where can you buy plumes?

Sir Gerard de Rodes:
Hi Leganoth.
They are really easy to make.
Follow this thread on our living history forum. There is a photograph of a plume holder just over half way down. I have one of these that I wear on my Houndskull bascinet.

What did you use to hold the plume? I can see it but not make out what it is

Sir Gerard de Rodes:
The plume is held into the holder with wax,( or blue tack for a quick solution) the plume holder would usually be attached to the helm using rivets, but I choose to tie it on with thonging so I can remove it easily.

Leganoth:
is there any skill to making the holder? Can you post a close up picture or alternative ways to attatch them?
