DIY Spring Decor

Everyday Party Magazine DIY Spring Decor Felt Birds

DIY Spring Decor

I am going to host a Welcome Spring Party during Spring Break for my kids.  But, I am gathering and DIY’ing a lot the party decor now.  The inspiration for our party is a printable set I designed last Spring.  (Look for those printables soon) The main design on the printable set is a cute little bird my son drew for me.  So, when I saw the Eileen Hull Bird Die at Sizzix, I instantly knew I wanted to make some birds for our party. However, I wanted them to be 3-D birds, not flat, I also can’t sew…Finally, I like to be able to use and create party decor that I can use that isn’t just for the party.  These little no sew birds are perfect DIY Spring Decor too.

I made a whole flock of little birds in less than an hour, so they are truly simple.

Supplies:

Sizzix Big Shot

Sizzix ScoreBoards Die – Bird

Felt

Hot Glue and Glue Gun

Pipe Cleaners

Paint Pen or Permanent Marker

 

Begin by cutting your felt pieces.

You will need 2 bird bodies and 2 wings for each bird.  One sheet of felt  is more than enough to make each bird, including adding the stuffing and creating a third panel for the bottom. I did not use the tiny beak, or the egg for this project.  (I may have stuffed them into the bird)

I made a template for the bottom panel after I glued the two bird bodies together at the top.  I added a thin line of hot glue along the edge of the top of one bird body, and stuck both bodies together.  Then I spread the bird bodies open on the bottom (that sounds so gross) and traced it onto a sheet of scrap paper.  Then, I cut one out for each bird I was making.

Then, I poked two holes into the bottom piece of felt, and threaded pipe cleaner into the holes, and glued a tiny scrap of felt on to keep the pipe cleaner secure.

Finally, I glued the bottom to the top two pieces the same way I did the bodies, leaving a hole in the bottom to stuff it with felt scraps.

I trimmed, the extra glue strands and clumps off, and they are absolutely adorable!
