Bead Baby Birds
Â
2 round wooden beads (we used one 16-millimeter and one 25-millimeter bead) with holes large enough for a doubled pipe cleaner to fit through
6-inch pipe cleaners
acrylic paint
craft feather (pom poms for bunnies)
fine-point marker
Â
First, paint the beads with acrylic paint. When they have dried, bend a 6-inch pipe cleaner in half, sandwiching the end of a tiny craft feather in the fold. Â Thread the smaller bead onto the opposite end of the pipe cleaner and slide the bead up to hide the bottom of the feather. Â Thread the larger bead onto the pipe cleaner, then bend the ends of the pipe cleaner into feet. Â Finally, use a fine-point marker to give your little chick eyes and a tiny beak.
Â
You can do bunnies as well. Use pipe cleaners to make ears.
