To make your own, you'll need:
- a bottle or two of glitter
- glue
- paint brush
- googly eyes
- feathers
- hot glue gun
- clothespins
- blank CD
's or cardboard cut in circles
- orange cardstock (for the beaks)
Ornaments Kids Can Make
Grab your blank CD or cardboard circle and cover it with glue.
I had my kiddos squirt glue on the CD and then use a brush to spread it around.
On a paper plate pour out some glitter and then press the glue covered CD into the glitter.
Big Brother chose to mix red and blue glitter together and Little Sis used a bottle of pink glitter provided to us by CraftProjectIdeas.com.
We were a bit impatient to let it dry so we proceeded to glue on our googly eyes and orange cardstock beaks.
We then added some feathers to the middle of the CD and to the back for tail feathers with our glue gun.
We had to do this part twice because our glitter wasn't set, so when we glued our feathers on the glue came off... but we put hot glue on the CD and our feathers stuck. I am guessing it was because we didn't let our white glue dry all the way....
Finally we used our glue gun to attach a clothespin to the back of our CD; now it's ready to be attached to a tree branch!
