http://www.crochetnow.co.uk | 7HOW TO MAKE THE FEET
Cut four pieces of lightweight garden wire to the
length indicated for each project (this is not the
fi nished size, it is the length easiest to work with).
With pliers, bend one end of a wire, 0.8cm for larger
birds, 0.5mm for smaller birds. Wrap the bent end
with fl oral tape. Wrap each of the four wire ends.
Bundle the wires together and insert them from one
side of tummy and take them out from the other.
Cut wires to the desired length and bend the tips to
match the other end. Wrap each end with fl oral tape
and bend them to shape. Wrap legs with fl oral tape.Sachiyo Ishii
This project gave me a
good opportunity to learn
about British wild birds. I
am amazed to know how
beautiful they are! I’ve
done my best to capture
the colours of each bird,
but their feathers have so
many changing hues, it
was a bit of a challenge
at times. I hope you enjoy
the patterns!colour, pul, yrh (with colour
just used), draw through

If you intend to give these
birds to children, sew eyes
on with black yarn instead
of using beads, and do not
use wire in feet20% OFF
