Tips for Sculpting a Majestic Eagle
Birds of prey look their best with crisp color changes, so carry your yarn neatly along the inside of the work and twist the two colors at every switch to prevent gaps. Stuff the body firmly but keep the wings lightly filled so they hold a natural curve. A small amount of craft wire inside the wing edge lets you pose your eagle mid-flight, guarding its treasure chest in style.
A Striking Piece for Display or Gifting
Perched on its little treasure chest, this eagle makes an eye-catching desk companion, bookshelf guardian or centerpiece for a themed room. It is a memorable gift for bird lovers, nature fans and anyone who appreciates symbolic pieces of strength and freedom. Makers also report that character amigurumi with props like this one attract plenty of attention at markets and fairs.
Care Instructions
Hand wash your eagle gently in cool water with a mild detergent, pressing the water through the fiberfill without wringing. Reshape the wings and body, then let it air dry completely on a towel away from direct sunlight, which can fade the white feathers over time. If the wings contain craft wire, never machine wash or tumble dry the piece.
