the nails are 8 inches long they have a head on them I paint a 1/2 moon for a mouth on top of the headthen find some easy bendable wire wrap a piece around the back of the head and twist to make tight then roll wire all the way down to make eyes then push eyes forward a little then take a piece of wire double the size of nail string beads all the way to the end of the nail take whats left of the wire wrap back upwards in between each bead for the wings I just make 2 alike for each side and slide the other end of the wire
down inside wire where you wrapped the body
if you have any questions just ask will help as much as I can |

| trashydj, spent hours yesterday cleaning my shed, feel ever so virtuous, and in my moving/tossing/consolidating discovered several long bolts I can use to make these and wire which I just hadn't had the heart to toss into the recycling bin. Now will just wait for a visit from some youngsters to make them with me. Thanks again!! Rosie |
