One question, how do I know which size to make? The disadvantage is, it makes it difficult to cut the mask. You decide: just make the mask comfortable to wear!

You can see the difference in the nose area in the last photo. Then you can hot glue the beaks on. Now you're ready for the felt! Well of course this is the part you've been waiting for! I had a friend help me cut the feathers since I had 3 to make but it didn't take that long.

The hardest part here is starting: it's scary to commit with hot glue! TIPS: Try and run the hot glue line at the base of the "feathers" so they can have some movement and stick up a bit or if you need to add extra feathers like I did. Put the glue on the mask, not the felt feather. That way, there's less chance of the glue showing. Although, if you have thick enough felt that shouldn't be a problem.

Start at the top, center - the forehead - and work out both ways and around. Definitely do the first layer all around the edge. Make sure the feathers go beyond the edge and overlap a bit. I also cut a small arch that matches the eye liners and placed it at the top of the beak. This defines that extra bit, and also covers the rough edges of both the feathers and the clay. I also tested the eyes in place a few times before adding any of the feathers to make sure you could see out of the mask and also that they looked parrot-y.

I used different colors to go with different color schemed parrots. End product.. Hope you enjoy it and can use it for your own wonderful creation. Thanks so much for your idea and instructions!
