How to make a craft correctly?
There are several important rules that should be followed when creating crafts:
- strictly follow the instructions if it is made on the basis of a ready-made solution on the network;
- if all materials are not available, then you should look for analogues that are similar in appearance and properties, otherwise all the work may be done in vain;
- It is recommended to make blanks that will help you make not one, but several crafts at once, and will also “insure” in case one of the birds is damaged while working on it;
- If you want to learn how to make a bird craft for the first time, then it is best to look for options using the corresponding request on the Internet.
Birdhouses made from milk bottles
Don’t rush to throw away milk bottles and Kinder surprise containers, because you can make an attractive craft out of them. Round holes are cut in milk bottles, clothespins are glued to the bottom of the bottles, and the birds themselves are on them in the form of kinder boxes. Just decorate the birds' bodies with down or feathers, colored paper, and also draw eyes on them with a felt-tip pen, then the craft will be completely ready.
Peacock from bottles
You will need multi-colored plastic bottles, foil, thin plastic, a log, a metal rod, foam, a stapler and glue. The body of the peacock along with the head is formed from polystyrene foam. Small indentations are made in the intended places for the eyes.
The log will be used as a base; you need to attach the peacock's body to it using a metal rod.
Feathers are sold from cut plastic bottles of different sizes: the longest for the tail, the shortest for the neck and normal size for the rest of the body.
One part of the future feather is rounded, and notches are made on the other to give a more realistic look to the feather. The tail feathers can be decorated with cutouts made of thin plastic and foil.
Decorations can be attached with a stapler or superglue. A beak is cut out of a piece of red plastic. The “feathers” are glued with a slight overlap onto each other to the body with superglue. You can make the crest the way your heart desires, but it is better to use colored plastic to create it.
The recesses for the eyes are painted over with felt-tip pens of any color. It is convenient to use some kind of mesh to form the tail. Its collection begins from the bottom edge. The made tail is attached to the body.

Swan
A swan - a bird made from cones - is quite simple to make, you just need to know the order of work. To make it, take a large semi-closed pine cone and white, black and red plasticine.
Use white plasticine to sculpt an oblong neck with a head, red for the beak, and black for the eyes.
Attach the plasticine blank to the blunt end of the pine cone.
The swan is ready!
If desired, the wings and tail can be made from dry grass or real feathers. To sculpt a black swan, you need to use black plasticine instead of white.
