Beak and Feet

A few pieces left - the beak and feet.

THE BEAK
This is a tiny part, but again take it slowly and it is easily made.

Picture 1 - The part has to be pre-shaped. I used a small crochet hook and then a skewer.

Picture 2 - Once shaped, glue the side to get the cone shape.
  • Notice that the tip of the beak in the picture above is angled and needs to be glued closed.
  • I basically dipped the tip into white glue, wiped off the excess outside and the let the part soften.
  • Before the glue dried, I repeated this process a second time.
  • I then moistened my fingers and the "rolled" the tip between them, and then put the part aside to dry.
Picture 3 - This shows the finished result.
