Bead Baby Birds

 

beady-babies-easter-craft-photo-260-FF0302ALM5A052 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

 

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.  Thread the smaller bead onto the opposite end of the pipe cleaner and slide the bead up to hide the bottom of the feather.  Thread the larger bead onto the pipe cleaner, then bend the ends of the pipe cleaner into feet.  Finally, use a fine-point marker to give your little chick eyes and a tiny beak.

 

You can do bunnies as well.  Use pipe cleaners to make ears.
