Pine Cone Birdies

-

Apply a blob of hot glue to the top flat part of a pine cone and press a polystyren­e ball in place. Bend a small piece of pipe cleaner into a beak shape and glue on. Using the image as a guide, bend a piece of florist wire into a zig-zag shape to form one foot. Leave a few cm for the leg, then wrap the wire tightly around the cone. Form a second foot and leg in the same way. Bend the wire until the pine cone bird stands. Use metallic and glitter spray paint to coat the bird and allow to dry. Cut wings and a tail from glittery card and hot-glue on. Make the eyes by glueing on beads or sequins, or drawing them on with a black marker pen.
