Colorful, wild birds (out of screw-glass lids)

You want to make a bird and are looking for something creative? Then this craft idea is definitely something for you! Use a screw-glass lid for the body. At best, this one is unprinted or beautifully patterned; otherwise you paint it. Then you look for feathers and clay paper paint for the legs and the beak. Then you can get started and create your own bird. You will be amazed at how many different birds come into being. Stay creative.
