Homemade Christmas Ornaments
"Snow Bird"
Submitted by Michele of Astoria, Oregon
This is a fun and easy ornament anyone can make.
All you will need is: a small fake bird (found in craft stores
and floral shops), glue, glitter, small paint brush for applying the glue.
Decide which parts of the bird you would like to make sparkle. I
chose the crown and wings on my little cutie. You can glitter as much
or as little as you like. Simply brush the glue on the areas to be
glittered and then sprinkle the glitter on the glue. It's best to do
this over a container or bowl to catch your excess glitter for re-use. Let
dry and you're ready to put your sparkly little fellow on your tree. The
birds I have chosen have little clips fastened to their tummies that I simply
clip onto the tree branches. If your bird doesn't, you can simply
tuck him into the branches or fasten a clip or wire to him with glue.
These are so quick and easy but look so magical on the tree. Enjoy!
