My youngest daughter came up with the idea for displaying the beards using wire wrapped around the base of the beard. She looped a small piece of leather through the wire and added 3 colors of beads leaving a small piece of the loop to hang on the string. Very cool idea from her. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to preserve the spurs on the first 10 or so that I killed and a cat got into the beards that I had or it would be more impressive.
