Like everything that I tend to make, I started with one creation which lead me to a remake creation. Both things were cute but this finished product matches my home decor more. I love it.
Supplies:
- Dollar Tree Felt Birds
- Dollar Tree Ping Pong Balls
- Yarn
- Ribbon
- Paint
- Hot Glue
- Paint Brushes
Instructions:
- Paint the ping pong balls in the color that you want. I used the color mineral by Waverly chalk paint.
- Paint the birds in the color that you want. I used Apple Barrel white acrylic paint for half of the birds and moss Waverly chalk paint for the others.
- After the birds were dry, I went around the edges of the bird in the opposite color. Don’t forget to go around the wing and eye areas.
- Take the ribbon and make bows for each of the birds.
- Hot glue the bows onto the birds.
- Take some yarn and run it through an embroidery needle. Make sure that you leave a little extra so the yarn doesn’t fall out of the needle.
- I ran the yarn through three of the ping pong balls followed by one bird and repeated that process until they were all on my yarn.
