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.
WINGS...place the wings between rounds 10 and 14.
EARS...align them with the wings and place them between rounds 4 and 5.
BACK PART of the EYES...using white felt draw out 2 circles overlapping to create the shape I used for the back. Place between rounds 6 and 13.
EYES...with black felt make 2 circles. Place the black eyes in the center of each overlapped circle, like in the picture below.
BEAK...using gold or mustard felt make a rounded triangle. Place in the center of the overlapping circles.
SPOTS...using white or color of choice embroidery floss or thread, embroider little "v" beneath the eyes in the order you like best.
