Way back in 2013 I shared this post with a pictorial of how I add legs/feet to my birds. I can’t believe that I’ve been creating and sharing patters for 13 years! Where does the time go?
I am still asked questions about making wire legs, so I created this short video tutorial showing you how I create my favorite two styles of legs. I typically use 18-gauge aluminum craft wire in either black or brown – although my Mourning Dove kit uses a pink wire. I hope you find this useful!

So simple! Thank for explicit examples!
I’m so glad to see you back on line. Your kits and patterns are so beautiful and now I can put feet on the birds. I really enjoy your stories and the pictures of Maine. It is my favorite state. I have spent many summer vacations in and around Saco and Old Orchard Beach. Thank you for sharing your memories and life with us. It brings back mine also.
