- Paint a birdhouse with orange acrylic paint for the roof and base, and yellow paint for the walls. When dry paint green grass and flower stems up the sides and add tiny painted flowers. (pic a)
- Cut a yellow pipecleaner down to 12cm long and bend the first cm over to make a triangle.
- Find the middle of a small pompom and thread the other end of the pipecleaner through it. Push the pompom up the wire until the triangle tucks into it and looks like a beak. (pic b)
- Thread a large pompom onto the pipecleaner leaving enough gap between the two to make a neck. Bend the end of the pipecleaner in zigzags to make two legs. (pic c)
- Trim some contrasting feathers down to size to make wings and a fluffy tail for the bird. Dip the ends into pva and push deep into the pompom to hold in place.
- When the feathers are dry glue the birds feet either side of the ridge of the birdhouse roof. Make another smaller bird to sit at the bottom of the house. (pic d)
