Hi friends,

have to make big square shaped with 4 / 4 inches that means vertical and horizontal wise....and as well as small size one and half inches and imp. thing is have to make three face to face that means three faces to one side means other three faces to another side........then only can hang in two corners of the doorstep.......
First step:
Make triangle shape and sew all the edges and make sure dont sew till last leave open space to fill the stuff cotton or waste cloth..........
Second step:
after sewing stage fill with stuff cotton and dont stuff the square part that is for beak from the below snap you can know abt how to sew the squares and stuffed trinangle shown.
Third step:
After making these six triangles and stuff with cotton or waste cloth to fill and small square fold into triangle and not to stuff with cotton (not required for beak) .
Fourth step:

Fifth step:
