They are sure to bring a smile to someones face, especially children.
And even more so when the children have made the card them selves.
They are all easy to do and only need a little guidance from you with smaller children.
You need only scraps of left over papers or thin card and some punches to give you two circle, one slightly smaller than the other.
These need to be the same colour, for the body and head.
Choose a darker colour for the beak, wing, feet and legs.
Cut three long sripes, of the darker card, and cut one of them into smaller pieces.
You will need one small white circle, and an even smaller black one for the eye. (Or use
Googly Eyes)
I decided to use stripy paper for my bird and a white feather for the tail.
So cut the largest of your circles in half, and position the half circle over the feather and glue in place on your card front.
Cut the smaller contrasting circle in half and attach half to the body part for the wing.
Place two long strips of the darker card under the half body shape for the legs. I added stripes to the legs with a gel pen.
Attach the small pieces to the end of the legs for the feet.
Put the other circle on top of the body, as shown, and fit the beak triangle under the head.
The white circle and the small black one will make the eye, adding a small white dot to the centre with a gel pen will bring the eye to life.
I also added white gel pen to the edge of the wing and
doodled
around the edge of the card.
I roughly cut a branch shape from some brown card for the bird to sit on.
I sued an alphabet stamp to create the greeting and added faux stitches to the edges.
Very easy to make and I hope you have fun making the Feather Taled Bird in all different colours.
