My daughter's class will be having a Valentine's card exchange soon. She requested a bird theme. Here is a Valentine's bird card holder tutorial. All of the supplies I used, I already had at home.

Total Time: 30 minutes
Supplies:
red acrylic paint
paint brush
2 paper plates
scissors
heart foam sticker
hot glue
glue
ribbon
button
1 pipe cleaner
Steps:
You will need 2 paper plates.
Freehand and cut out a bird silhouette.
Paint your bird silhouette. (Since my paper plate is red I did not have to paint the other plate.) Allow paint to dry.
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.

I used two foam heart stickers as the feathers.
Glue on a button as an eye.
Hot glue the paper plates together.
Poke 2 holes through the plates and thread with ribbon and secure with a knot. Ready to be hung. At school they're hanging their Valentine's card holders on their coat racks.
