ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     TIP...For anything that I’m going to be using felt, I like to first sketch it out on white paper and make a stencil of what I need. Then cut it out. Then tape the stencil to the felt and cut it out.
     FEET...try to find the position you like best. I place mine between rounds 17 and 18; approx. .60" apart. Only sew the 2 first rounds from the feet to the body.
     FEATHERS...located the center of the back and place the feathers above round 14.
     FEATHERS on top of the head...place it on round 1.
     WINGS...align them with the feet and place them on round 11. Only sew the top portion leaving the rest of the wing unsew so he can flap around.
     BEAK...if needed lightly stuffed it. Place it between rounds 10 and 11.
     WATTLE…using red felt; make a rounded “L” shape and glue it on either side of the beak as shown in the picture below.
     EYES...using black felt make 2 small circles. Place them between rounds 8 and 9; approx. 1" apart.
