3. Lay one purple egg and one cotton egg, right sides together. Top with an egg shaped piece of quilt batting and pin together. The quilt batting is used in the costumes to provided added support to the upper portion and a smoother, less bumpy look to the finished costume. Sew together using a 1/4″ seam allowance.

10. You may want to paint the beak of the eagle grey {as I did} or keep it black. I just used acrylic craft paints.
Use black fabric paint or fabric marker to add details to the features. I prefer fabric paint.
