Birdie Decoration Tutorial

A quick little post today to let you know that my tutorial for making these Birdie Decorations is finally finished. Woohoo!!!!

I decided to write it in two parts ::

Part 1 :: the Flat Circle. This is how you make the main body of the Birdie.

Part 2 :: the Birdie Decoration. This is how you make all the other bits needed for this cute little crochet bird.

I felt that the Flat Circle pattern needed to be listed as a page on it's own as it's a very useful pattern to know (can also be used to make a round cushion, or the bottom of a bag). I've had lots of emails lately asking for help in trouble shooting the bottoms-of-bags which are not working out as they should, and I'm hoping that these detailed instructions and many, many pictures should help you to make a flat circle easily, or trouble shoot bag bottoms that have gone baggy or curly!!

 

I'm hoping you have lots of fun creating your own flock of Birdies.

Don't forget you can share pictures of your creations with us all in the Attic24 Inspired Flickr group. Some very cute little Birdies have already flown in, so do go take a peek.

Have fun!!

Hi Lucy. I really love your blog, you make so many nice things... I've made a few birdies and I want to ask you something. But first let me explain.
Last october I went to Gambia and I visited a special school. This one's the only one in Gambia. In Holland I work with mentally disabled people as well, and I really felt like I had to do something for them...
Since january of this year I discovered crochet and I'm really hooked now! So I thought: why not combine these two. I'd like to start a webshop selling handmade birds (because I love them and Gambia is known for it's birds). All the money I'll make with it, goes to this special school. My question now is if I can use your Birdie-pattern to sell these in the shop... It's for a good cause!
I'd like to hear from you.

Interiors were put together instinctively as a part of the process of building. The profession of interior design has been a consequence of the development of society and the complex architecture that has resulted from the development of industrial processes. The pursuit of effective use of space, user well-being and functional design has contributed to the development of the contemporary interior design profession.

So. Get a load of you. Whence dost thou jog, in your hawt Chairman Mao outfit and your uspeakably chic black Crocs with matching soccer mom man-purse? Are you sprinting from a grease fire at Dunkin Donuts? Did you just hear of a twofer sale at Tents for Tanks, a discount emporium for the fashion-conscious sperm whale?

Hey there Lucy -

Thanks for the fab birdie tutorial, it was so easy to follow - even for my limited hooking skills.

Thought you might like to know that I made a little bird mobile and I think its quite cute (if a little rough around the edges).

There's a pic on my blog if you want to take a look.

Thanks again!!!

Emma
