Discussion of the article

Good afternoon, today we have prepared for you a selection of crafts paper birds. We have collected all the ways to make a bird that are suitable for kindergarten and schools. I.e educators and teachers primary school they can take any idea and it will be feasible for children's hands. Here you will find birds made of colored paper and cardboard birds in different techniques. We also have a special article for those who are fond of crafts from paper origami modules

Let's see what bird crafts you can now make with your children.

Simple cardboard birds

For children.

Here is the easiest spring do-it-yourself craft in the form of birds. Here, silhouettes of birds are cut out of cardboard and wings are made of colored paper separately. Wings are glued to cardboard. A hole is cut on the back of the bird with a hole punch and we hang the bird on a branch on a string.

You can glue the silhouette of a bird from several layers of colored paper (or a colored napkin) and then you can fluff the tail - separate these layers, as in the photo below).

You can make an accordion fan out of a napkin. Make cuts in the silhouette of the bird and insert the fan as the wings and tail of our paper bird. Easy craft for kids.

Here is a stencil template with beautiful silhouettes of birds for such children's crafts made of cardboard or paper with their own hands.

Birds bilateral

From cardboard do it yourself.

The essence of this craft is that a round piece of cardboard is bent in half. And we get a semicircular double-sided blank for poultry. Further inside - along the fold line of the workpiece - we paste a strip of paper (also bent in half lengthwise) - on the one hand, this strip is cut into feathers (this is the tail), on the other hand, the strip is cut obliquely (this is the beak). Next, we glue the wings and eyes, the craft is ready. Optionally, you can stick a semicircular piece of breast. A beautiful and simple bird with your own hands.

We can improve this craft and add a variety of elements to it. For example, to make wings not from a flat part, but in the form of a fan inserted into a slot on the bird's back. And arrange the tail part in the form of painted chicken feathers. Feathers are dyed in colored water (food coloring or gouache).

In this technique, you can make any bird with your own hands. Depending on the color of the breast and plumage, it may look like a sparrow, bullfinch, or titmouse.

Here is an interesting master class on a titmouse made of paper and cardboard. Fold the cardboard circle in half. On the fold line we put a rectangular long strip of paper on the glue so that so that its tail bulges. After gluing, this tail part of the black strip is lifted up - we turn the bend outward. Next, glue round pieces of black paper on both sides (this will be the head), glue the wings on the sides of the bird. And there was a beak, eyes and white cheeks of plumage.

Here's another - in the photo below we see birds. They are made in exactly the same way. Only here it’s not just a circle in half - but changes have been added to the shape of the circle. Below I have specially drawn a drawing of this bird for you - so that you can see for yourself how such changes were created.

First, we slightly changed the shape of the circle - made it more oval (since part of the circle will go to the back of the bird). Secondly, the details-processes were added to the circle - in the tail, in the beak, and where the legs are. We cut it out of cardboard - we make pasting of the bird's beak and paws from colored paper. And fold along the fold lines. There is a secret how to bend the cardboard in half with a perfectly even line without creases and wrinkles - put the ruler on the intended fold line - from the tip of the beak to the edge of the bird's tail - and firmly pressing the ruler, bend the cardboard up. The line is obtained as in the factory even and smooth.

And here's another piece - figured bird made of cardboard or thick paper. Here the bird is also made from a ROUND PIECE of cardboard, which was also bent in half into a half-disk - but then scissors were used to give the cardboard half-disk the shape of a bird.

Let me draw too scheme for assembling such a bird from paper. Pretty good idea. Do not be lazy and puff on the graphics. So that you can quickly make such birds with your own hands in classes with children.

By the same principle of SLOTS and inserting new parts into the slots, you can make a variety of birds.

For example, here are such swifts, or swallows (see the diagram below).

You can hang your paper birds on a branch of a spring tree. Or make a mobile pendant to decorate a child's room. Dilute the birds with flowers, leaves, clouds.

And you can place our homemade paper bird inside a new craft - a cage made by yourself.

To create a cage, we need one wide strip of paper (this is the bottom of the cage). We twist it into a ring, fasten it with glue or a stapler.

And we also need 4 narrow strips (they will be rods). In the center of each narrow strip we make a hole with a hole punch. We thread a rope into it, tie it so that the twigs stick to each other in the central part. We leave the end of the rope to hang out (we will then tie the bird to it).

We glue the ends of the narrow strips in a circle to the lower wide ring-base of the cage.

BIG bird crafts

from corrugated board.

And here is the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bcrafts, where birds are cut out of ordinary gray corrugated cardboard packaging left over from the boxes. We cut out the silhouettes of the bird, round heads, tail petals, ovals of the wings and long stripes of legs. We fasten all the details with a stapler, or with glue. And after that we take either gouache paints or colored paper - and decorate or glue the bird with bright details.

This bird craft is good because each child comes up with his own bird design. And it turns out that with his own hands he creates a new, author's bird, reflecting his idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbeauty.

You can cut out of cardboard - a bird with open wings - and cut many, many feathers from colored paper - and methodically wrap the wings with feathers, starting from the bottom row and gradually rising to the top rows. bird breast glue with wavy strips of colored paper. Tail part of long narrow feathers.

In kindergarten - such crafts can be collective, when the whole group of children cuts out feathers in one lesson, and in the second lesson they glue the bird with them. A long-playing do-it-yourself craft is obtained.

Of course, you may not have a large cardboard box, then your bird craft can be simpler and smaller. For example, such as in the photo below. And by the way, you can make a nest for her. Make several of these birds - one per child - and have them color them in their drawing class. Cardboard boxes are always in abundance in the kitchen of the kindergarten (food is brought to children in them) - go down and ask the cooks, they can supply you with such material at least every day.

paper birds

in the BEER technique.

As we said above, a paper fan looks like bird wings. Therefore, we can use it in various bird crafts. For example, beautiful duckling- the beak for it can be made two-bladed so that it opens. You can make a whole family of ducks with these winged fans.

A long narrow strip folded into an accordion can become a long neck ostrich, and his own feet.

If you take several sheets of colored paper, fold them with accordions and glue them side by side to each other, then we will get a large colored fan that can become a fluffy tail of a turkey or a peacock made of cardboard.

But you can do it more economically. Suitable for Kindergarten craft bird peacock. When the peacock's tail is made from ONE sheet of paper. The accordion folds - and then bends in half - into a semicircular arch. The tail of a cardboard bird is inserted between the halves of this arch fan. This is the most fast way make a peacock bird. Spots can not be drawn, but cut out of colored paper - it will be more elegant.

According to a similar principle of a “fan bent along the floors”, a wing is made for a bullfinch bird on a children's craft below. In the photo we see that a triangular piece of paper is folded into an accordion. Then this accordion is bent in half and its halves of the blades come together (like the peacock above) - and we get an oval pointed wing. An excellent bird craft for kindergarten, easy and quick to do with your own hands even for small children.

And if you take a long strip for a fan, then an accordion from a long strip can be folded into a circle. And this circle can become a magnificent wing of a dove made of paper. Or this round fan will become the body of a bird.

paper birds

in loop technique.

And here are children's crafts of birds, where the plumage is made using the technique of paper loops. An ordinary strip of paper is folded edge to edge on the glue - we get a paper loop. Such paper loops can become the plumage of a peacock's tail.

You can even make whole birds out of paper loops. Or loops can become an element of a flat swan appliqué.

Below, you can take a good look at what parts such a paper bird consists of.

DIY birds

from paper rolls.

Wide strips of paper can be rolled up. Make two such rolls - one for the head, the other for the body of the bird. The rolls can be left hollow, or they can be filled, for example, with rolls of a smaller diameter (as in the right photo).

Below we see several handmade designs of such paper birds.

The body of the bird can be made not in the form of a round roll - but in the form of a paper loop. And then a long process of the tail can be glued to such a body. On the tail, you can stick paper curls in layers as in the photo below.

Side wings can be attached. The wing is - one whole strip, it is glued inside the roll and its two ends stick out from different sides - it turns out two separate wings.

You can make a whole bird family out of paper with your own hands in a nest, also made of paper strips.

A paper strip rolled into a wide ring can be a source for new bird crafts. Here is a beautiful white paper swan. But what a bright turkey.

Craft Birds

from paper plates.

Ordinary paper disposable plates can also be a source of inspiration for bird-themed crafts. A round plate can become a basket nest for a family of chicks.

The plate can become the curve of a swan's neck, or the round puffy tail of a peacock.

paper birds

from toilet rolls.

Toilet paper rolls can be a source of inspiration when creating paper birds. Such crafts are very fond of children - turning an unnecessary object into a beautiful thing is interesting.

You can just paint the roll with paint. Can be pasted over with a sheet of colored paper. And add accessories feathers, beak and stuff.

Or you can cut a cardboard sleeve from above on both sides - and insert the silhouette of an owl into this cut, and then the sleeve will become its tummy.

The sleeve can be turned the other way - put horizontally. And then your fantasy will go the other way and you will see new ideas of birds. Here is a chicken made of paper, here is a cheerful parrot.

Volumetric cardboard crafts

Birds with their own hands.

If a sheet of cardboard is rolled up into a tube - fixed with a stapler, then we will get a blank-body of the future bird. Feathers, beak and eyes - make this pattern a beautiful bird. And then your imagination is free to do what it wants.

Cardboard can be folded not in the form of a tube - but in the form of a cone, also fastened with a stapler. Based on the cone, you can also come up with your own bird crafts.

We also have other articles interesting crafts on bird themes.

Here are some ideas for paper birds. Now you can not only take the finished craft from this article, but also, based on any technique described here, INVENT your own author's bird. After all, copying is boring, but creating something new with your own hands is very interesting.
