Search terms: garden craft. 

  • Step 1For the feathered bird, Paint the entire bird light pink (excluding its beak). Paint the beak yellow. Allow to dry.
  • Step 2Find the smallest feathers in the packet of spotted feathers. Cover the body and tail of the bird with feathers. Attach with glue.
  • Step 3Glue a wiggle eye to the bird’s face as a final touch.
  • Step 4For a spotted bird, paint the head of the bird red and the tail and beak pink. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Find approximately thirty pieces of confetti in a combination of warm colours (maroon, red, pink, yellow and orange). Use these to decorate the body of the bird. Attach with glue.
  • Step 6Cover the body with a coat of glitter paint. This will help to hold down the confetti pieces and add a touch of sparkle.

  • Step 8Glue a wiggle eye to the bird’s face as a final touch.
