Bluebird Egg
Display these side-view birds in little nests or on a bed of grass. Use a variety of prints and colors to create a whole flock!

You'll need:
Eggs
Store-bought or DIY egg dye (blue)
Printed paper or cardstock
Yellow cardstock
Scissors
Craft glue
Fine tip black marker

What to do:
Dye egg blue and let dry completely. Cut a wing from printed paper and glue to the side of the egg. Cut a triangle from yellow cardstock, fold a tab at the flat end and adhere to the end of the egg with glue. Let dry. Draw an eye with the black marker.

Tips: Find a wide variety of printed paper and cardstock in the scrapbooking section of the craft store. Or, cut the wings from old note cards and greeting cards. The wing in this picture is from a recycled Thank You card.
