Flying by with another way to turn ordinary wood craft spoons into one-of-a-kind friends! This time I’m calling them wooden spoon bird puppets and I would be super stoked if you decide to recreate a few flying friends with your child today!

Then use your newly created bird friends from wooden spoons and cupcake liners, as party decor, garden decorations OR have a fun afternoon full of puppet play, with a whole collection of them in your hands!

Whatever you decide to do with your finished bird masterpieces, I hope you enjoy making them! So enough chit chat from me! Let’s grab those craft supplies and get to work on this fun & simple DIY idea! You can find ALL the details you need to know in the simple tutorial below!

Happy crafting my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your craft spoon bird puppets with us on our Facebook page to admire! I can’t wait to see what colors you decide to use, to give them your style and personality! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Supplies:

* Wooden Craft Spoons – one per bird puppet
* Craft Paint {any color you like!}
* Paint Brushes
* Large Cupcake Liners – one per bird puppet
* Orange Colored Cardstock Paper
* Small Wiggle Eyes – two per bird puppet
* School Glue
* Paper Craft Scissors
optional materials for this craft – embellishments like ribbon, rhinestones, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First have children paint their wooden craft spoons however they like. Birds come in all colors so let your child go wild on this one!
* Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
* While they are working on that – grab a cupcake liner and flatten/fold it in half with your hands, to create the wings of the bird.
* At this point in time you should also cut out a small triangular beak from the orange cardstock for your bird.
* To finish off the Wooden Craft Spoon Bird – simply glue the flattened cupcake liner in place, as well as the cardstock nose. Follow that up by gluing on the wiggle eyes as well.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc}
* To display, you can add magnets to the back or hot glue some string for easy hanging!
