Bird Marionettes

You need:

• 1½ Pipe Cleaners

Instructions:

Each girl will need two tiny pom beads, one medium and one larger pom bead. Fold a pipe cleaner in half and wrap both sides around a pencil to curl. Put some glue on the folded end and push into the hole in the body pom bead. Glue a tiny pom bead to each of the remaining ends for feet. Cut pipe cleaner in half and wrap half around a pencil to curl. Put some glue on one end and push into the other hole on the body pom bead. Glue the head pom bead to the other end. Glue on foamie shapes to make it look like a bird. Glue on smaller wiggle eyes. Cut two pieces of yarn 18" long. Tie one piece to each end of a jumbo craft stick. Tie the other ends to your bird. One at the neck and one at the butt.
