Materials

Old book pages
A bird shaped template (I hand drew mine)
Glittery craft paper or foam paper
Twine
Black marker

Tools

Scissors
Craft glue

Instructions

Create a bird shaped template and cut it out;

Use this template to trace onto your book pages creating the bird shape you will cut out;

Cut out as many birds as you wish, and then set them aside;

Now, you will use your colored craft paper and cut out a small heart and a small beak for each bird that you created;

Once all of the birds, beaks, and hearts have been cut out, you will begin assembling your birds;

First, peel the sticky back off of the heart, or use craft glue, to attach the heart upside down on the bird to look like wings as shown;

Next, you will add the beak to the top front of the bird, along with a small black dot for the eye;

If you plan to laminate these to protect them, do that at this time then cut them out of and add a hole punch to the top;

The final step is to thread the twine through the hole, or tape/glue to the upper back of the bird for hanging.

Make these in various sizes to create bird families to decorate with around the house!
