Bird crafts have always been very popular among lovers of home art. Particularly relevant are the figurines of feathered creatures on Bird Day, which is celebrated in spring on April 1 in kindergartens and schools. The holiday is dedicated to the return of migratory birds and marks the onset of spring and the renewal of awakened nature. On this day, children of all ages make bird crafts, and older schoolchildren make birdhouses and hang them on trees.

Bird crafts can be made from a variety of different materials: cotton pads, colored paper, plastic bottles, salt dough, natural and any materials at hand. There are many options for creating birds - from simple ones for young children to complex ones that schoolchildren can easily master with the help of adults.

We bring to your attention a few lessons on creating birds with your own hands with step by step instructions, diagrams and tips. We hope that they will help you learn all the subtleties of this fascinating process and be filled with new bright ideas.

We will need: plastic bottles of various colors, foam plastic, a wooden block as a stand, a metal twig, foil and thin colored plastic, a glue gun.

Step one, Cut out the body of the peacock along with the head from the foam, not forgetting to make small indentations in place of the eyes. We fasten it to a wooden block with a metal rod, which plays the role of legs.

Step two. We make a sufficient number of peacock feathers from plastic bottles of different colors. We will need three types of feathers: long for the tail, short for the neck and a little longer for the body. To do this, cut off the bottom and neck of the bottle and cut it lengthwise into 3 parts.

We round one end of each strip with scissors and cut its edges into thin strips so that it looks like a bird's feather. We decorate the rounded end of the feathers intended for the tail with two or three multi-colored ovals made of foil and plastic. You can attach them with a stapler.

Step three. Cut out a beak from a red plastic bottle and fasten it in place. Next, gradually glue with glue gun feathers on the body of a bird, starting from the tail and ending with the neck. We attach the feathers a little overlap, as shown in the photo. Do not forget that medium-length feathers are for the body, and meek ones are for the neck.

Step four. We cut out a crest of any shape from colored plastic, which our imagination tells us, and glue it on the head. Using acrylic paints, draw the eyes of a peacock. You can glue cilia cut from a transparent plastic bottle to them.

Step five. We proceed to the manufacture of the tail, using an abrasive mesh for this. We make holes at the base of the feathers and attach them to the grid with a thin wire.

We start making the tail from the end, gradually laying feathers on top of each other in rows until the luxurious long tail of the bird is fully formed. After that, we attach it to the body and settle the peacock, made with our own hands from plastic bottles, on a plot among flowers and greenery.

Do-it-yourself bird of paradise made of polymer clay - master class

These delightful birds of paradise are made of polymer clay that hardens in air. This modern material we are also familiar with the names "self-hardening plasticine", "mass for modeling" and "velvet plastic". For the manufacture of charming feathered creatures, we need aluminum wire with a diameter of 1 mm, polymer clay, foil, scissors, round nose pliers, a stack, a glass for rolling clay, a little patience and diligence.

Operating procedure:

1. We create three birds at once at once - while we are sculpting one, the rest dry up. We cut the wire twice as long as the planned tail. We wrap half of the wire with foil, crushing it and forming the body of a bird.
2. We make paws from wire, as shown in the photo, and insert them into the body. We take a piece of clay, form it in the shape of a sausage, then roll it out and flatten it. We carefully pull out the wire from the bird, place it inside the clay sausage, rolling it up with a glass. We insert the finished colored ponytail back into the body. In the same way, we make blanks for the remaining two birds.
3. We take a piece of blue, yellow and red clay, roll them out and gradually, spreading them with our fingers, stick them around the birds until all the foil is covered. We will get three blanks of bright birds.
4. Starting from the center, stick around the paws. Then we take a piece of clay of the corresponding color and make cheeks, crown and beak. From balls of black clay we sculpt eyes, not forgetting to squeeze out the upper and lower eyelids around them with a stack.
5. We create a tail and crest. To do this, cut off several wires of the length we need and roll them into clay. When it dries, round off the ends with round nose pliers and insert the details of the tail into the body of the bird. We make shorter feathers from thin clay sausages by twisting their tips.
6. We make the effect of plumage by applying pieces of clay rolled out in the form of droplets on the body and working with a needle in the direction of feather growth. With the help of a needle, we make feathering all over the body of the bird. For shine, the eye can be varnished. A wonderful do-it-yourself bird of paradise is ready!

More ideas and schemes for bird crafts from various materials

For needlewomen who are familiar with the isothread technique, it will not be difficult to create pictures with beautiful white swans with their own hands and decorate the holiday with them, dedicated to the day birds.
