• (optional) Fabric Glue
• Long Doll Needle and strong thread
• Embroidery or painters tape to hold fabric in place
• (Optional) Wire cutters and Needle-nose pliers for working with wire
Materials
• Black fleece is best suited for this project. You may also use other black stretch or non-fray fabrics with this pattern to get a different look. Woven fabrics could also be used if you want a frayed raw edge on wings and tail for a more raggedy looking crow.

• Foam stabilizer or thin quilt batting
• Top and bobbin thread to coordinate with project
• Fiber Fill Stuffing for Crow body
• Glass beads for eyes - size 6/0 for small beady eyes, or size 2/0 for larger eyes. You could also use buttons or jewels for the eyes for a different look.
• 1/16” Thin armature wire or 16 gauge aluminum wire - you will need 6 feet of wire (183 cm) for the standing crow, and/or 1.5 feet (46 cm) for flying crow
• (Optional) Floral tape or other soft tape to cover standing Crow’s legs and feet. Electrical tape is also useful for covering sharp ends of wire.
