Today we will make funny birds - flamingos, storks, crows, parrots and yellow chicks. One of the current topics for creativity in kindergarten or holding a homework competition is bird crafts.
Before you start creating this craft, you can first conduct a thematic lesson with your children, talk about the life of birds in the summer, and why it is at this time that we most often hear bird voices around us.
If the goal is an interesting DIY bird craft for a kindergarten or early development center for a competition, then you need to use the most beautiful and original materials to create it.
Undoubtedly, real feathers will decorate such a craft. From them you can lay out a whole image of a bird, based on the color of the feather. For example, white feathers can turn into a charming stork. To create the beak and legs, use three-dimensional materials, and for greater naturalism, place the bird in a nest made of real straw or dry grass.
A very original postcard with a stork will be made using voluminous paper elements.
You can use feathers to decorate the finished image - create a crest, wings or a tail from them. Here, for example, is what kind of parrot can be made from feathers and ice cream sticks.
You can make a bird out of paper, but place it in a large basket made from two disposable plates.
A wonderful chicken can be made from folded paper or a cardboard roll.
Eggshells dyed with food coloring make adorable chicks. If we plant them in halves of unpainted shells, we will get a touching “hatched chickens” composition!
And here is a lovely couple - a cockerel and an eggshell hen.
Another option for making hens and chickens is from felt.
This craft would make a wonderful Easter basket.
Easter basket "chicken"
You can make a wonderful souvenir in the form of a chicken with a flower from felt and satin ribbons.
Another adorable chick in a shell can be made using the quilling technique.
Watch the video “how to make a bird in a cage:”
You can add some zest to the applique by extending the bird’s paws and head beyond the cardboard base.
If you have multi-colored wings, you can make a fantastic flamingo. Its body will be an old CD, its paws will be made of chenille wire, and its head and neck will be made of felt or velvet cardboard.
You can do without feathers.
A beautiful three-dimensional stork will be made from cotton wool and thick knitting yarn.
Or from round, folded in half, white and black paper blanks. An application made from such modules looks very strict and impressive.
Instead of paper, it is convenient to use disposable plates to create semicircular modules. One plate becomes the body of one bird.
And this is a funny applique “flying birds with a feather”.
Very impressive bright birds are made from plain paper. Thin sticks are glued to two opposite sides of the paper circle. The circle is folded in half - the sticks are connected together to form the legs of the bird. They can be fixed with plasticine - then the bird will stand. The beak, wings, tail and comb are made from bright colored strips of paper.
A variety of birds can be made from natural materials. For example, a cockerel made from apples can become a real table decoration.
A smart penguin with glasses can be made from eggplant and carrots.
The penguin can be made using the appliqué technique from paper and cotton wool.
Penguin applique made of paper and cotton wool
A stunning penguin figurine can be made from painted walnut shells.
A funny turkey can be made from maple leaves.
And wings made from a variety of prints of different colors will be useful for a chic, bright parrot.
You can do the opposite - draw the body of a bird, and make the wings from a different material. For example, a disposable plate.
A spectacular lark is made from cardboard and paper folded like an accordion.
Using the same technique you can make a variety of colored birds. Look at the video on how to do this:
A paper lark can also be made using the popular origami technique:
You can decorate the finished applique with touches of paint, which will look much more interesting if you use wood glued together from wood-colored decorative film and colored paper as the main background.
The application “birds in a nest” can turn out to be very touching and spring-like. An application in which a combination of materials will be used in the nest looks interesting. For example, to make this application we used paper, napkins and plasticine.
Application “birds build a nest”
Using various creative materials, you can make a three-dimensional applique with birds and insects.
See how to make a beautiful spring applique with birds and birch trees:
Very interesting birds can be made using the trimming technique. The base of the craft is smeared plasticine. Using a small stick or toothpick, insert pieces of paper into it. We made a graceful swan using the cutting technique.
But such a charming swan can be made from a pine cone, a CD and plasticine.
The pine cones can be used to make extremely charming owls.
Another awesome way to make a swan is to glue it together from beautiful white shells.
A very beautiful bird is made from smooth pebbles.
Perhaps the most original idea for making birds is to make them in the form of soap.
Another wonderful bird is made from nuts.
A wonderful fluffy winter bullfinch can be made from thread.
Look at the video “how to make a beautiful bird from threads”:
A painted bullfinch will be a wonderful decoration for a winter picture or postcard.

Birds have always attracted the attention of others and many are attracted by their ability to fly. Their diversity is simply amazing. For example, swans or storks fascinate with their size and beauty, woodpeckers and jays with their unusual appearance, owls and crows with their severity, and magpies with their restlessness. Each has its own character and character! And there are so many birds that cannot be seen, but their sonorous singing can be heard over long distances.
It is not surprising that many needlewomen love to depict birds using different techniques. Today we will look at several options for making feathered friends from different materials.
From sand.
On the grass of the lawn you can make a beautiful composition of colored sand. A white dove, with delicate daisies along the contour, looks great on a blue heart.
From iris leaves.
This magnificent weaving of green iris leaves looks unusual. And the long tail gives the bird additional charm.
Made from polyurethane foam.
Polyurethane foam is applied on a hardboard base cut in the shape of a stork. It is easily painted with enamel and retains its beautiful appearance for a long time.
From plastic bottles.
Plastic containers are a fertile material for crafts. You can cut it into any shape and paint it in all sorts of shades. You can get such a bright cockerel from just a few bottles.
From feathers.
If you carefully collect the feathers, then you can make a magnificent craft that looks simply natural. The frame for the birds is made of plaster, which is covered with real feathers.
From paper.
Regular office white paper can be useful for. You just need to trace the child’s palm, cut out many of these blanks and glue them onto a three-dimensional base. Another dove of peace looks magnificent and majestic.
From disposable devices.
And this floating dove is made from disposable tableware. The frame is formed from a metal mesh onto which feathers from disposable spoons and forks are attached. Original and unusual.
From a milk bottle.
For this little bird you need to take white bottles in which dairy products are sold. Cut out all parts of the body and fasten them with universal glue. You don't even need to paint anything.
From fabric.
The splendor and texture of the craft can be achieved using padding polyester and transparent fabric. Such a bird can be easily sewn by a craftswoman who knows how to work with a sewing machine.
From dry grass.
Some people prepare hay for cows and horses, but for needlewomen it is fertile material for creativity. Such a bird, woven from grass and ears of corn, looks not only unusual, but also somehow magical.
Made from polystyrene foam.
Another beneficial material that is easy to cut and holds its shape well. Birds made of foam plastic look realistic and you don’t need to spend additional money to make them.
From flowers.
The main thing in this craft is the wire frame. And then you just fill it with flowers and you get this mother hen with chicks made from threads.
From hay.
This large crane is made from dry grass and looks absolutely amazing. You need to tie a haystack with thread and give it the shape of a bird. It is not often that you see crafts using this technique.
These beautiful birds can appear in your yard if you put a little effort into making them.

Dear colleagues! I bring to your attention a master class on creating an original photo frame from natural materials. For.
In Pavlodar we have willow growing on the banks of the Irtysh, a very good material for weaving. I offer a master class on how to make a very comfortable one.
Master class from Masha K. “Golden Ball”. Autumn has come. The maples and birches put on golden shawls, the aspens turned red, and the grapes glowed.
Autumn is a wonderful time! It's not hot anymore and it's not cold yet. I want to create. Autumn has also arrived in our fairytale forest.
Materials:
basis for work,
universal glue,
PVA glue,
sheet of white paper
dried flowers.
Progress.
Paint the base for the craft blue, you can add yellow and pink at the top and around the tail.
Draw rose petals on a piece of paper and paste the sheet into the file.
Coat the petals with universal glue and sprinkle with millet.
When the glue dries, carefully remove it from the file.
It is very important to work with the petals on the same day so that the glue does not dry out completely, but remains flexible. If the petals dry out, they will crumble and break.
Select one petal and twist it into the core of a rose.
Wrap the second petal around it and glue it.
To avoid holding it until it sticks, you can use a clothespin.
Roses can be made both small and large. Depending on this, glue the number of petals onto the flower.
Make white roses in the same way, but use rice for the work.
Paint the semolina in the desired color. To do this, add gouache to the cereal. The paint should be fresh, do not add water. Put on a glove and rub the cereal until it is stained.
Apply a bird pattern to the base and lay it out along the contour of the thread.
Apply PVA glue and sprinkle with colored semolina.
Fill all the elements of the bird with semolina. It’s better to first make all the yellow parts, let them dry, then a different color so that the grains don’t stick to each other.
Make a frame. Glue peas along the edge, and also decorate the bird with peas.
Prepare dried flowers and pre-made roses.
Glue flowers to the bottom of the picture.
Add twigs and the work is ready.
