Christmas Bird Gift Tags
| Materials needed |
- Template (provided here).
- A large piece of colored (preferably pink) origami paper.
- A pencil.
- A pair of small scissors.
- Paper glue.
- Chinese New Year 'money'.
- Pinking shears.
- Hole punch.
- Narrow ribbon strips (of short lengths).
|
| How to make |
- Place the bird template on the colored origami paper and trace its design. Cut the design out.
- Next, cut out a piece slightly larger than the bird from the colored hand-made paper. This is to serve as the background for the bird.
- Using paper glue, paste the bird into the center of the hand-made paper cutout.

- Cut out a crown and wings from the golden part of the Chinese 'money'. Paste in place.
- Cut a strip out of the colored hand-made paper of the same width as the card.
- Trim the upper edge of the strip with the pinking shears. Glue this along the bottom of the card so as to nearly cover the bird's feet.
|
- Keeping the bird intact in the middle, cut around the whole tag using the pinking shears.
- Punch a hole in one corner of the tag. Pass a pretty ribbon through and tie its ends together. Use it to hang the bird tag from anywhere you like.
