3 Place the ball on top of the egg for a bird's body and cover the joint with papier-mâché pulp. Shape a beak and wings along the back.
4 Double over three thick stub wires and gather them with a thin stub wire. Make the feet by twisting thin stub wires around each end of the assembled stub wires approx. 4 cm from the ends. Bend approx. 1 cm from the wound-around stub wires, so that each foot is approx. 3 cm long. Push the legs into the bird and cover this area with papier-mâché pulp. Leave to dry.
