  1. In one of the colors of the cardboard we will draw the body of the peacock, and we will cut it out.
  2. In the other color, we will draw the beak, wings and tail of the peacock. For the beak we will cut out two triangles with one of the rounded ends. Then the two wings and finally a rectangle to make the tail.
  3. For make the queue, we are going to fold the rectangle as if we were making a paper fan.
  4. Now with a marker we are going to decorate the wings and tail, imitating the bird's feathers. In the queue, we will use the folds of the fan themselves to arrange the decoration as if they were eyes that is so characteristic of these animals.
  5. We will glue the beak, wings and craft eyes on both sides of the body and matching the pieces so that everything is square.
  6. Now for mount the body and tail, We are going to make a cut in the tail so that we can fit the body there and the tail helps to keep the whole peacock standing.
