When tying in golden pheasant tippet tails, the bright orange side will be on one side only and usually a few twisted barbs show on the 'good' side.

How do you get the bright orange on both sides?

Mixing the tippets up by twisting/rolling makes keeping the tips even a real pain and the distribution of bright side/dull side is never even.

I have tried to match two bunches of tippets with the orange sides out, but since these barbs don't lock together like quill slips I usually wind up with a mess instead.

Any suggestions?
