DIFFICULTY RATING

STEP 1

STEP 1 Cut a bird shape from white card like ours, as shown. Then, using pinking shears, cut a strip of card and stick a piece of it on the neck and near the tail of the bird using the Dremel Glue Gun and clear glue. Use our picture as a guide. Add spots all over the bird using the Glue Gun and glittersticks.

STEP 2 Cut two small strips of crepe paper, pleat them slightly and glue them onto the back of the bird at the head and tail, as shown, using the clear glue. Glue a sequin for the eye and wavy lines along the neck and tail using glitter glue in a contrasting colour. Make a paper wing, cut out and glue in place.

STEP 2

STEP 3 Measure and cut a rectangle of patterned paper 15cm by 11.5cm and make dots on it using the Dremel Glue Gun and glittersticks.

STEP 4 Finally, cut a rectangle of gold card measuring 16cm by 13cm using the pinking shears. Using your Dremel Glue Gun and clear glue, stick this onto the front of the album, affixing the decorated card in the middle of it with the bird on top – and your album cover is complete! and 7mm clear glue GG02
