How to Make Cupcake Liner Birds
First, take the brown paper and tear a wide strip from one of the ends so one side is torn, and the other side is straight.
Glue this piece to the edge of the white paper to make the trunk of the tree.
Tear another wide strip for the branch and glue it horizontally from the tree trunk.
Now, grab the cupcake liners. Fold them in half and glue the two halves together.
Take the orange paper and cut two triangles for the beaks. Glue them to the back of the cupcake liner towards the top.
Next, glue the cupcake liners to the paper so they are resting on the branch.
Grab the colored paper that matches the cupcake liner colors and cut two small hearts. These will be the bird’s wings, glue them to the bird’s body.
Finish off the craft by popping on the googly eyes. You can make one bird look like a girl by adding some lashes.
The cupcake liner love bird craft is complete.
