Follow these instructions to create two mirror images of the bird - a front and back that you will later sew together for a double-sided ornament.

Pin the upper body into place. Cut an oval of black felt for the eye; tack. With one strand of black embroidery floss add the "cheek" line on the face. Position the beak and tack.

Position the wing. Add the decorative stitching to the wing using two strands of black embroidery floss.

If desired, fashion wire legs and tack to the wrong side of one of the body pieces.

Pin the body front and back together and sew around the edges with a blanket stitch using black floss, pausing to stuff the ornament with fiberbill before completing.
