Paper Plate Bird Craft

Paper Plate Birds with Moveable Wings⁣! ⁣ Supplies:⁣ 2 paper plates⁣ Scrapbook paper⁣ Craft paint⁣ 3 googly eyes⁣ 1 brown pipe cleaner⁣ 3 paper fasteners⁣ Tools: scissors, paintbrush, glue stick, white craft glue⁣ ⁣ Instructions:⁣ Two paper plates will make 3 birds. If you only want to make one bird, that's totally fine! You will just have scrap pieces of paper plate left over.⁣ ⁣ Cut both paper plates in half. Take one of the halves and cut it into six equal pieces. Set the six small pieces aside.⁣ ⁣ Paint the three paper plate halves and set them aside to dry.⁣ ⁣ Place scrapbook paper on the table face down. Apply glue stick to two of the small plate pieces then turn them over and press them to the back side of the scrapbook paper. Repeat for the other small pieces and set aside to dry.⁣ ⁣ When dry, trim off the excess scrapbook paper but cutting around the triangular shaped plate pieces. These are your wings. Set them aside.⁣ ⁣ Now that the paper plate halves are dry, paint an orange beak onto one corner of each one. Glue on a googly eye.⁣ ⁣ Use a craft knife or pair of scissors to poke a hole in the center of the paper plate bird body. Also poke a hole into each wing, about about 1.5-inches above the pointed end of the triangle wing.⁣ ⁣ Insert the paper fastener through one of the wings (on the scrapbook paper side) then through the plate, and finally through the second wing. Secure the fastener at the back of the bird.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
