Craft/Sewing/Home Decorating:
Following on from Em's gorgeous Christmas wreaths I have these sweet little bird decorations for you to make for the Christmas tree.
These birds are a really simple little decoration to make to brighten up your Christmas tree, hang in a row on the wall or could even be tied to a present as a personalised tag.

Tips:
- I used iron on interfacing to make the body of the birds a bit more sturdy.
- You can also attach the ribbon to the bird after you have made the bird by threading the ribbon through the top of the bird with a sharp needle with a large eye.
Variations:
There are so many things you could add to this basic bird - so try a few out and make the bird your own! Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
- attach a small bead for the birds eye
- attach a small wing to each side of the bird to give it a more 3D feel
- tie a little ribbon around the birds neck
Finished dimensions: 5cm x 8cm
