Lollies!

Step 1
Cut out 50 bird pieces (make sure that you cut 25 one way and 25 going the other way) and 25 wings

Step 2
Cut 25 x 10cm/4″ ribbon lengths

Step 3
Cut out 25 orange beaks and assemble the birds, wings, ribbons, beaks and lollies so they are ready to sew.

Step 4
Take two bodies, tuck a beak in between the two sheets at the same height as the point of the tale. Fold a length of ribbon in half and tuck it in between the two sheets on the top of the bird’s head.
Sew the bird together, tucking a lolly inside before you finish.

Step 5
Glue a button onto the bird. Glue a wing onto the body.

Step 6
Take a black marker and write numbers 1 – 25 on the wings or you can use stickers, if you like.

Hang up your birds on a string or on the tree. All ready for 1 December.
Sorry I don’t have a pattern for the birds or wings but they are really easy to draw freehand or google one.
Enjoy!
