{Joy Burlap Birds}

I found these birds at Michaels for $1.00 and I grabbed them! When I started decorating for Christmas I realized a banner would be perfect for my mantel so I gave it a try.

{Supplies}
1. Birds from Michaels or any other cut shape on cardboard. You need to add a hole punch if your shape does not have one.
2. Burlap
3. Glue gun
4. Glitter
5. String and needle


Supplies

{Step 2}
:: Trace the bird onto the burlap with a light colored marker. Total 10 birds.
:: Cut bird out

{Step 3}
:: Glue Burlap birds onto paper birds with glue gun. Glue the other side on. Two birds per paper bird {front and back}
 {Step 4}
:: Apply glue from the glue gun to edges and sprinkle in glitter

{Step 5}
:: Add letters. I used my Cricut machine to cut our my letters and shapes. I also used my new Cheerful Season font by Creative Memories for the snowman and snowflake cut out. You can also trace your letters or use stencils.
