Making a Flamingo Heart Card

Total Time: 20-25 minutes

Yield: 2 flamingos

Supplies:

• scissors
• hot glue
• feathers
• pipe cleaner
• construction paper
• black pen/Sharpie

Steps:

1. Depending on how many flamingos you want to make, you will be cutting heart shapes for the body. I cut out two for two flamingos I will be making - one for each of my kids.

 
2. Cut two narrow triangular tips for the flamingos' beaks, then draw on a face with a black fine print pen/Sharpie.

 
3. Prep the supplies to complete your flamingo. Cut pipe cleaners, each will need (3) 2 for legs and 1 for head. Then using your hands bend the neck into shape.

4. Put the heart shape down and hot glue on all the pieces - legs, neck, and feathers.

 
5. Flip around and hot glue the face on and bend the legs.

 

 
6. To reverse the flamingo's position, put the heart upwards and envision how the legs/head are supposed to look underneath the heart, then flip around and hot glue down.
