Today I’m going to show you how to make a flying bird decoration.  When made correctly this bird will flap his wings with just a bit of movement of the string.  Crafters of all ages will enjoy making this craft…. even the youngest.  We provide many templates that you can choose from to make this flying bird.  You can choose one of the colored templates or you can print off the black & white template and color the bird yourself.  The choice is yours.  So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
