i have been working on giving the guest room a new look (can ya guess why?). i started with the windows. i love these little birds. one of those ideas that just pops in your head and actually works… made from some of my grandma’s hankies, they were really easy to make, required just a few stitches by hand, and can be easily taken apart without damaging the hankies.
start with a hankie, some thread (i used embroidery thread), and some stuffing…
tie a small ball of stuffing into one corner of the hankie…
tie the two opposite corners loosely so you can adjust them later. these will be the wings…
fill the center with more stuffing…
pull up the bottom corner and tie it up to make the tail. the back (top) of the bird will be open. stitch it shut then tug on the wings and tail to adjust them to your likening…
