Description of the process of creating a bird from threads step by step

Take blue yarn and wind it lengthwise onto a prepared template about one centimeter in height. Cut it on both sides and set it aside.

1. We wind the yellow threads across the rectangle. We cut from the top and bottom.
2. We connect blue and black fibers. We do the same as with the yellow ones. We tie them in the middle of the bundle.
3. We wrap white threads around the index and middle fingers, folded together. We make one cut.
4. We fold the yellow yarn with the white one and secure it in the middle with a suitable thread. Then we place it across the blue one in the form of a cross.
5. We fold the blue sections, going around the yellow ones, while simultaneously connecting them to the white ones. We tie this structure with a thread of the same color.
6. Now we tuck the yellow ones, tying them with the same thread. The result was two brushes connected to each other.
7. To shape the body, crumple up some paper to form a ball.
8. We trim the ends of the white threads so that they are not visible.
9. Now we lay out the blue and yellow strands evenly. In the middle we place black and blue wings in the form of a cross across, and on top we place a paper ball. We connect the blue and yellow tassels, hiding the white ends of the threads and paper inside. You can periodically straighten the threads carefully with a wide-toothed comb.
10. We move the wings to the side, tying the belly and back together, highlighting the tail.
11. We wrap the wings towards the back and fix them at the base of the tail. We remove excess length with scissors, giving a more neat look.
12. We make legs from the wire using pliers or by hand if the wire is thin. We bend it from the bottom, giving it the appropriate shape. Rewind with black electrical tape or thread. We fix them in the abdominal area. If they are inserted tightly, you can help yourself with the sharp tips of scissors.
13. Take two black beads and sew them in place of the eyes. We fasten the thread and cut it.
14. Glue the beak from the seed. That's it, our titmouse is ready.
