1. Use Cricut Machine to cut out each bird 2x at 5 inches tall. Use High tac to stick together at small points, then machine stitch around edges of birds. I cut off legs to add my own. Stuff each bird and finish stitching closed.

2. Use Adhesive squares and a bent paper clip inserted into bird at leg part to make bird stand.

3. Now you can decorate your birds. I hand cut my wings to fit each bird, one on each side.

 4. Add party hats, pearl eyes, tinsel halo's and whatever other pretty embellishments that you like.

    Who would have thought! Those birds are adorable! I will certainly have to try them out. I, also, can see them as name plates at a table with the person's name hanging from their beaks like a worm.
