Makes a bird out of waste material such as screw glass lids and advertising brochures or old catalogues.
In addition, you only need scissors, glue and a pen, you can get started. There are hardly any limits to your imagination here. You can play out in color, as there are many bright colors to be found in advertising brochures. Whether this is to be a monochrome bird or a "bunt parrot", you can decide for yourself. Pull a few paper strips (from the brochures) and use them as feathers. All other body parts such as beak, eyes and legs are quickly painted up and glued to it. Whether you stick your bird/pape/cock or fantasy bird on an old picture frame or to the window, you can decide.
Have fun being creative.
Birds of recycled material
Weather – crafting frog in glass
You're dealing with the subject of weather? Then you've probably already asked yourself, "Is there a weather frog?" Here's one for you! And how you can make it yourself, we'll show you step by step.
Find a large bulbous glass (or a wake-up glass) and a large round of stones. Then you make a ladder that you put into the glass. Then you put the frog on it. We made it out of a yoghurt cup. But maybe you also have a plush frog at home that you want to use. Have fun and stay creative!
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.
Make cat and mouse out of socks
„Like Katz and Maus“ from socks we show you here. This cat and the mouse are a craft project for children who like to make their toys themselves and bring in ideas. From a single sock – no matter if this is black, brown, grey or white – a cat or a mouse is created with little material in a flash. Maybe you're making an entire cat family? Or is the cat hunting the mice?
For an animal you fill a sock with rice. Next to it you need two wobble eyes, a button, some wool, a few paper remnants and a pipe cleaner.
Are you ready for a purring offer? Then start right away and have a lot of fun!
Design funny birds (birds made of wood disk)
We are busy with birds especially in winter. Children like to feed and watch them. So many children have fun making birds. A unique possibility is the crafting of a bird from a wooden disc.
All you need for that are a few feathers, a pointed beak and thin legs.
The individual steps are described here and are very easy to implement. Have fun!
Raven tinkering (made from cardboard roll)
This raven is a nice simple craft work and it is suitable for playing. Maybe it can tell you stories or you are experiencing an adventure together? Look yourself how easy you can make these ravens from a cardboard roll (cloroll), black water color, clay paper and two feathers. Have fun!
Small cheeky raven (made of cardboard roll)
This small cheeky raven is crafted from a piece of a cardboard roll. It is glued with a strip of black clay paper and decorated with feet and beak of yellow clay paper. 2 wobble eyes give the raven as much liveliness as a black tail feather that protrudes over the head. This creates a small cheeky raven that invites you to play.
Try it out! Have fun!
Make paper bird (with template)
You can easily make this beautiful bird yourself. Print out the template for it, cut it and fold this little bird from it. With a few handles it is quickly made. Then you put the paper bird on a branch. This quickly creates a beautiful decoration for the table or the children's room. Have fun!
Paper bird making
This folded bird is a small fine motor challenge for primary school children, where finger skills are required. It starts with measuring and painting a paper strip with the dimensions 20cm x 2cm. Use a copy paper for this, because this can be easily processed. Then follow the illustrated instructions. Only after the folding you cut the head with beak and the tail feathers.
You can simply put the little bird on a branch or branch without an additional thread for hanging. As an addition to a crafted birdhouse you can make many of these birds in different colors.
Enjoy crafting and decorating!
