Making tips

  1. Lock long beak and body outline

    Place the dark outline for the thick long beak, round head, back wing, and feet first. The beak is chunky — keep both upper and lower edges complete.

  2. Fill teal head/wings and orange breast

    Lay teal on the crown and wing, then the large warm orange breast so the high-contrast blocks feel solid.

  3. Add white patches and peach belly

    Place the small white patches on the neck/cheek, then pale yellow or soft peach under the orange breast. White patches are tiny but bold — match their position.

  4. Finish eye and feet

    Add the black eye, gray beak divide, and dark brown feet last. Many colors and rare accents — scan low-count beads once more.

  5. Final check before ironing

    Double-check the long beak for gaps, a clean teal–orange boundary, and complete neck white patches before you iron.
