Do you remember this little bird?
I made him a little friend, this time with a fluffy tail!
As we were picking up some toys last night, I picked up some feathers that came from a feather boa from our girls' dress up box. I was heading for the garbage can, and then I suddenly got the idea to use them for this bird!
These are so easy to make!
Supplies needed:
Cut a little triangle to use as a beak. Cut a piece of the feather. Using the picture above as a guideline, lay the feather and beak down on the paper. Put the button on top of it to see if you like the look. With a marker, draw the feet of the bird.
Glue the beak and feather in place.
Glue the button on the background paper.
Cut a little wing out of patterned paper or cardstock, and attach the wing and the eye.
And that's it.
These are fun to use on cards, in scrapbook projects, or other paper crafts.
I just love the possibilities.

Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for the inspiration, after looking at your blog I remembered I had some perfect buttons and feathers that I bought on impulse while at the craft shop ages ago so I made a little acceptance card.
