Let your holiday greetings take wing! These two-piece avian ornaments can be tucked inside cards and assembled in seconds by the recipient. (You're allowed to make one or two for yourself too.)

Materials
Stiff felt (white for dove, red for cardinal) or foam sheets
Tacky glue
Silver sequins
Black seed beads
Large needle
Embroidery floss

Instructions
Using our downloadable template as a guide, cut out the wings and body of the bird from stiff felt. For each eye, use tacky glue to add a silver sequin and a black seed bead.

Use a large needle and embroidery floss to make a hanging loop right above the slot for the wings. Place the two pieces inside a card with instructions to slide the pieces together at the slots.



I made these last year, out of foam sheets instead of the heavy felt, for my grandkids and sent them to their house as if Santa Claus had written to them and tucked an ornament inside the card. They were so excited and it added another ornament to the tree. You could add their name and date. This year I am going to make snowmen.
