Make a paper bird Christmas decoration

Hang pretty paper birds at the window

To make flying birds in Christmas colours, first enlarge the template (below) by 400 per cent. Cut out in card and cut a slit where marked for the wings. Cut a 15cm square of brightly coloured paper and fold it concertina-wise in 1.5cm folds for wings. Thread wings through the slit. Glue a bead or jewel decoration to each side of the bird for eyes. Make a hole as for bunting then thread cord through and knot ends for a hanging loop.
