Let's start off with the following : 
Tweet Tweet ! Create your colorful bright birds made from loops of paper to fill up decorative nests! 







                             Materials

  • Card stock
  • Scissors
  • Tacky glue
  • Clothespin
  • Toothpick




                                                                                 Curly Bird in the making :
                                                                                     ( captured and done by me )
                           
                          Instructions

  1. First, use this guide to measure and cut the card stock strips you'll need for each bird:

    Body: 5 (1-inch-wide) strips, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 inches long
    Head: 2 (1-inch-wide) strips, 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 inches long
    Tail: 5 (1 1/2-inch-wide) strips, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 inches long
    Beak: 1 (1- by 2-inch) strip
    Eyes: 1 (1- by 1 1/2-inch) strip
  2. Roll the body strips into circles, overlap their ends about 1/4 inch, and secure with tacky glue.
  3. Nest the circles and glue them together. Tip: Use a clothespin to hold the pieces until the glue dries. Do the same with the head strips, then glue the head to the body.
  4. Trim the tail strips into long triangles, then curl them a bit before gluing them together. Glue the tail to the body.
  5.  Fold the beak rectangle in half, then cut off the two folded corners at an angle, as shown. Fold in the tabs and glue them to the bird's head.
                                                                  
                                                                  Curly Birds : 

    ENJOY!

    great blog Samaya! it's so colorful and fun!
    I love the 5 crafts you presented in your posts.
    They would be very appropriate for the younger age group and teachers may use these ideas in class especially in the KG levels.
    The steps for each craft are well explained and defined. Your crafts are diversified and fun to do.
    The design of the blog matches your topic and the images your provided are visual aids to the readers who may be doing these crafts.
    Great job !
