Fold your piece flat. The edge should be along the increases. Remove the cotton from two q-tips and fold them in half. Insert the first q-tip horizontally along the edge of the piece to make the two external toes of the bird. Insert the second qtip in the middle to make the middle toe, and poke it through the top/back of the foot (between round 3 and 4) to go in the leg.
Use the tail of your piece to sew along the toe, to fix the q-tips in place, then sew the top and bottom edge of the piece to shut the piece.
