Hi guys,

Art means 'PATIENCE'; the word is enough to say about all.

I completed this project with the help of 'PATIENCE'.

This project is 99.9% made with paper, and happy to share with you how I completed it.

Supplies

1. Cardstock paper-300 GSM
2. Scale
3. Pencil
4. Paper clips
5. Paper knife
6. Scissors
7. Glue (FEVICOL)
8. Maida flour
9. Tissue paper
10. Gauge wire (Bend with bare hands)
11. Cotton thread
12. White paper -90 GSM
13. Paintbrush.

Step 1: MARKING

Mark 1CM in cardstock paper,

Stack max 5 cardstock sheets and clip them with paper clips.

Step 2: CUTTING

By using a paper-knife cutover over marked lines.

Step 3: CONVERT RINGS

By joining two ends of strips or two strips, convert rings of various diameters as you desire to make a LEGHORN body.

Step 4: BODY (WITH NECK)

1. With the help of the strips, stick rings and make the structure of LEGHORN.
2. Join rings by strips on 4 sides.
3. Use gauge wire for the basic structure of LEGHORN.

Step 5: ADD MORE PIECES

1. Add small pieces of strips in curved and stomach areas,
2. Remove gauge wire.

Step 6: MORE STRENGTH TO STRUCTURE

1. Adding and adding more small pieces of strips to the structure, gives more strength to it,
2. At last, don't forget to stick the shrunken paper to the head

Step 7: HOT GLUE

1. Its heated glue, not an hot glue gun.
2. Maida flour with water turns as glue when its heated,
3. Cool it and use it as hot glue.

Step 8: TISSUE PAPER PACKING

1. Cut tissue paper in half(not in dimension) and used,
2. Apply the hot glue with tissue paper,over structure with a paintbrush,
3. Let it to dry.

Step 9: SHANKS AND TOES

1. Use 15 CM gauge wire to make shanks and toes,
2. First roll paper over gauge wire and then roll cotton thread.

Step 10: ATTACH BOTH

1. With the help of glue, attach shanks and toes with body structure,
2. After completing, do coloring to the shanks and toes

Step 11: TEMPLATE MAKING

1. We require the same shape and same dimensions in lots of quantities, the template makes that process easy, to avoid doing the process again and again,
2. Use cardstock paper to template,

1, FEATHERS OF BODY:

1. Take 8*1.5CM In cardstock paper,
2. Draw features of the body in given dimensions at the end of cardstock paper,
3. And then cut the features of body shape,
4. We can do process of folding and the marking at the same time by using this template.

2, FEATHERS OF NECK:

1. Take 10*3 CM in cardstock paper,
2. Mark features of the neck in given dimensions at the end of cardstock paper,
3. Then cut features of neck shape,
4. We can do the process of folding and marking at the same time by using this template.

3, FEATHERS OF TAIL:

1. Take 10*3 CM in cardstock paper,
2. Mark features of tail in given dimensions without the feature's cut,
3. And then cut features of tail shape,
4. We can do the process of folding and marking at the same time by using this template.

Step 12: FEATHERS -BODY

1. Use 90 GSM paper for feather making,
2. Take 2 CM paper strips and cut half,
3. Fold the paper in the given dimensions by using the template,
4. Then mark the shape required by using the same template,
5. Cut and remove unnecessary papers,
6. Curl each feathers of body.

Step 13: FEATHERS - NECK

1. Use 90 GSM paper for feather making,
2. Take 3 CM paper strips and cut them in half,
3. Fold the paper in the given dimensions by using a template,
4. Then mark the shape required by using the same template,
5. Cut and remove unnecessary papers,
6. Don't forget diamond tip cutting at the end of the process,
7. Curl the feathers of neck.

Step 14: FEATHERS - TAIL

1. Use 90 GSM paper for feather making,
2. Take 3CM paper strips and cut them in half,
3. Fold the paper in given dimensions by using template,
4. Then mark the shape of required by using same template,
5. Cut and remove unnecessary papers,
6. Cut like feathers in each papers.

Step 15: STICK FEATHERS - BODY

1. Start to stick, paper feathers over the structure in a circle formation,
2. The Next row will be in between two feathers and hide the previous paper,
3. Like these, stick paper feathers in the entire structure (except the neck),
4. Don't worry about the quantity of feathers, just start to fold and cut, after couple of days,you will have accumulated enough pieces,
5. At last, stick legs too.

Step 16: STICK FEATHERS - NECK

1. Start to stick, paper feathers in the neck over the structure in the circle formation,
2. Stick feathers up to the head.

Step 17: STICK FEATHERS - TAIL

Stick paper feathers in tail-inclined formation, just like LEGHORN's tail.

Step 18: HEAD
