Top Tip
Try decorating with different colours to make bird wings instead!
How to Make
- Cut eight paper plates in half and then make seven of them into slightly curved crescent moon shapes.
- Colour the curved edges with a gold deco pen.
- For your left wing, use Super Tacky Glue along the edges and stick four of the half-plates together, fanned out slightly from the right corner.
- Add one more half-plate about 1cm away from the right corner and slightly further down. Repeat another two times to complete the wing.
- For your right wing, stick four of the half-plates together, fanned out slightly from the left corner.
- Add one more half-plate about 1cm away from the left corner and slightly further down. Repeat another two times to complete the wing.
- Take a half-plate without a crescent moon curve and carefully make two small holes with the tip of a pencil.
- Cut two lengths of white elastic, both 70cms long.
- Thread a piece of elastic through each hole and tie in a knot.
- Stick the half plate with elastic to the back of the wings using Super Tacky Glue.
- Check everything is stuck well. Add extra glue where needed to make them secure.
- Once dry, try the wings on. You can adjust the length of the elastic to suit by undoing the knot and retying it the make it shorter or longer.
