Materials

Instructions

Step 1

Remove the packaging and labels from the mini clay pots. Paint the clay pots with black acrylic craft paint.

Allow to dry. You will probably need to apply a second coat of paint.

Step 2

Cut a small triangle from yellow craft foam for the beak.

Glue the beak and two wiggle eyes onto the top middle of the clay pot to make the crow’s face.

Add cheeks by dabbing a new pencil eraser into pink craft paint and stamping on either side of the beak. Or just paint two small circles of pink paint with a paint brush.

Step 3

Glue one or two black craft feathers in the drain hole of the clay pot.

Cut two 8” lengths of yellow ribbon for each crow. Loosely knot the ends of the ribbons and then glue the opposite end to the inside front center of the clay pot as legs.

Step 4

Draw a wing shape on a scrap of plain paper with a pencil, then cut it out with scissors to use as a pattern.

Trace the wing pattern onto black craft foam with a pencil, twice, and then cut out with scissors.

Glue one wing to the right side and one wing to the left side of the crow.

Step 5

Using skinny green ribbon, tie two small bows. Glue to the front bottom of the clay pot crows. Trim any long ends of ribbon with scissors.
