This idea comes from 100 Layer Cake. I have a confession guys I don't even own a glue gun so I made a paper bead to affix the feather.
This way I can reuse the bead and feather. Since I don't have a bead tool I wrapped one layer of masking tape around a bamboo skewer to make additional space for the bead hole & feather. You can google paper beads as there are tons of instructions.
I used some magazine paper and made a strip about 6" long and 1/2" at the bottom making a long skinny triangle for the oblong bead. Once the bead is completed use the pointy end of the skewer to slide the bead off.
Remove the masking tape. Line up your feather to the top and bring the bead up from the bottom to cover about 1/4 " of the feather spine. Ta da you're done!
