Paper Parrot Decorations

"This tropical paper cockatoo craft is a fun and colourful paper project made using simple everyday materials. A cockatoo template is traced onto cardboard, then divided into sections to create layered collage birds using wallpaper samples, gift wrap, or patterned paper scraps. Each decorative bird turns out unique depending on the mix of colours and prints used. The finished cockatoos can be strung into a bright garland or attached to skewers for playful plant pot toppers. This easy paper bird craft combines collage, pattern mixing, and upcycling into one cheerful DIY that’s perfect for decorative paper lovers."
