3. Once you have prepared all the parts, start stitching two parts of the body together. Fill the insides of the body with what is left of felt or use wadding for that.

4. Add the wings. If you wish, you may put tulle on the felt. Stitch the wings to the body.

5. In order to make eyes you need to use pearl beads. Fasten them with the help of the glue.
