This bird is made from two paper balls. Tape is wound around them and used for assembling them into a bird shape. The bird is then covered with decoupage paper, glued on with decoupage lacquer. The feet are shaped from floral wire and inserted into the bird.
Scrunch up some old newspapers or magazines to make two balls. (Alternatively, you may use blank newspaper from our range).
Attach tape around each ball, covering them completely.
Fold and shape the beak and tail from small pieces of newspaper and attach these to each ball. Then assemble the two balls to make a body and head.
Glue small pieces of decoupage paper onto the bird which has previously been covered with decoupage lacquer. Apply another coat of decoupage lacquer to the bird once it has been covered with decoupage paper and let it dry. Shape feet from floral wire and insert them into the bird's body.
