Sew:
1. the wings
2. the legs
3. embroider the eyes
4. make a skirt using a piece of veil fabric: take a piece 100 x 5 cm and
run a gathering thread. Draw up to fit the waist forming the folds.
Secure the skirt onto the body with sewing pins, evenly spread the folds
and sew. The picture below is from another pattern but I guess you will
get the idea.

Make the ear tufts:
