LEGS Use 3 long bugle beads for the legs.
CONTOUR OF THE WINGS
Complete each very long picot with colored beads of your choice, following the diagram. Attach a paper clip to the picot so you do not drop the beads. Do this on all picots. To attach each picot, use 8 beads. Join to each picot with a shuttle lock join (lock join or SLJ) repeating on all picots/feathers of the tail. Fasten the work on a styrofoam plate with pins giving the desired shape and wet with diluted white glue. Let it dry for 12 hours.
