Tweet tweet goes the little birdy! We just love how our paper plate blue bird turned out and it was so easy to make. All you need are some white paper plates, paint, glue and colorful craft feathers to get started. The girls added these white foam hearts for the bird's wings which look super cute! I couldn't do without the rainbow feathers, they just added a bit of spunk the girls and I were totally diggin'.
