• 

  Step 1

  Cut out 50 bird pieces (make sure that you cut 25 one way and 25 going the other way) and 25 wings

• 

  Step 2

  Cut 25 x 10cm/4″ ribbon lengths

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out 25 orange beaks and assemble the birds, wings, ribbons, beaks and lollies so they are ready to sew.

• 

  Step 4

  Take two bodies, tuck a beak in between the two sheets at the same height as the point of the tale. Fold a length of ribbon in half and tuck it in between the two sheets on the top of the bird’s head.
  Sew the bird together, tucking a lolly inside before you finish.

• 

  Step 5

  Glue a button onto the bird. Glue a wing onto the body.

• 

  Step 6

  Take a black marker and write numbers 1 – 25 on the wings or you can use stickers, if you like.

• 

  Step 7

  Hang up your birds on a string or on the tree. All ready for 1 December.
  Sorry I don’t have a pattern for the birds or wings but they are really easy to draw freehand or google one.
  Enjoy!

those look lovely but do you need to cut each bird open to get the sweets out? I'd prefer to do a pocket so they can be used again
