Step 3. Cut out pieces of black felt for the wings and yellow felt for the feet. Tear drop shape – long for the wings, short for the feet. Hot glue those on your pine cones. Also cut a small triangle for the beak, hot glue that on the wooden bead.
Step 4. Thread a piece of twine through your bead and secure the end with a large knot. Hot glue your bead to the pine cone. You’re done!
