Steps:

  1. You will need 2 paper plates.

  3. Freehand and cut out a bird silhouette.

  5. Paint your bird silhouette. (Since my paper plate is red I did not have to paint the other plate.) Allow paint to dry.

    Valentine's Bird Card Holder - paint the back side of the cut plate, red and allow to dry
     
  7. With the paper plate scraps, I cut out a triangle piece as the bird's beak and glued it down. You could also cut out feet with the scraps, but I made feet with pipe cleaners instead.
