These cute birds with a Christmas look are the ideal project to try out felting. But even for advanced crafters, the birds are a great decoration for the Christmas season. With just a few materials and a little skill, you have finished making the funny flock of birds and can decorate them on the windowsill, table or chest of drawers.

This is how the cute birds are felted:
These birds are made from re-felted polystyrene balls. This gives the birds their shape. By using the polystyrene balls, you also need much less felting wool.

The birds are made using the dry felting technique. To do this, first take a polystyrene ball. We chose the sizes Ø 5 cm and Ø 7 cm to create different sized birds. Place the desired fairy tale wool on the polystyrene ball and pierce it with the felting needle until the materials have joined. Felt the birds with the details of the trousers etc. in this way.

First felt the beak, the wings and the eyes on the felt mat until the desired shape is achieved. Then felt the parts onto the birds with a little fairy wool.

Stick the feet into the birds and fix them with some craft glue.

Glue the hat and the buttons onto the head with craft glue.
