Tree Ornament - Shabby Chic Bird

Print and cut out template and use it to cut one (1) bird shape from chipboard, and two (2) bird shapes from patterned paper (one for each side of chipboard)

Stick paper to chipboard and use sandpaper or other method to sand and even edges (I use the BasicGrey Precision files which I LOVE)

Add eyelet and string to top

Cut another piece of patterned paper 5"x8" and fold into an accordion, making each fold about 1" wide.

Insert accordion into slit in bird's body and fan out to form wings

Here's another version I made using corrugated cardboard, paint, trim and sheet music
