Hayley and I made this little blue bird ornament when I went to visit for Thanksgiving. It's very easy. All you need are a felted wool or cashmere sweater..a sharp pair of sissors..fancy trim...a small twig...fabric glue..some buttons or beads for the eyes ..cotton balls for the stuffing and clips to hold the bird closed untill it drys and a small strip of lace or ribbon to tie around the birds neck.
Using the templace cut out the back and front of the bird as well as two wings. Put glue around all the edges of the birds body..remember to glue trim hanger in middle of body and twig on bottom. Put the two pieces together holding them with clips untill dry ( we used clothespins). Add the wings and the beads for eyes. When all is dry add a small snip of lace or ribbon around the neck.......Sweet and very simple.
