Posted by Emer on 14th Apr 2021
Create this beautiful hanging decoration using patterned paper and beads! A bird with hearts on the body and a hanging heart in its beak made from patterned paper. Assemble the parts with double sided tape. If you do not have double sided tape you can also use glue. Attach the heart to the beak with a piece of thread. Decorate a piece of thread with wooden beads for hanging.
