🔹 Crest (3–5 stalks)

🪡 Assembly

  1. Sew beak and eyes to face.

  2. Attach wings slightly behind body midline.

  3. Secure feet to bottom so the peacock stands firmly.

  4. Insert crest wires at the top of the head.

  5. Arrange tail feathers in 2–3 staggered rows for fullness.

🌟 Finishing Touches

  • Add optional embroidery around the eyes for detail.

  • Lightly steam block feathers to keep them flat and fanned.

  • Adjust crest wires until evenly spaced.
