<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step-by-Step Instructions</strong></h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 1: Make the Bird Shape with Tinfoil</strong></h4>



<p>Start by crumpling some tinfoil into the shape of a little bird. Think of an oval for the body and a smaller bump for the head. You can pinch the foil at the back to create a tail and shape a little beak at the front. Don’t worry about it being perfect!</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 2: Cover the Foil with Clay</strong></h4>



<p>Roll out your air-dry clay into a thin sheet (not too thick—it’s just for covering). Gently wrap the clay around your foil bird. Press it down so it sticks and smooth out any lines with your fingers.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 3: Add the Wire for Hanging</strong></h4>



<p>Before the clay dries,take a small piece of wire and stick it into the top of the bird’s back,creating a loop. This will let you hang your bird later!</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 4: Add Details</strong></h4>



<p>Use your fingers or a toothpick to shape and smooth the bird’s wings,tail,and beak. You can even add little textures to the wings or tail feathers with a skewer or toothpick.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 5: Make the Christmas Hat</strong></h4>



<p>Roll a small cone out of clay for the Christmas hat. Flatten the base so it sits snugly on the bird’s head. Add a tiny ball of clay at the tip for the pom-pom. Attach the hat to the bird with a bit of water,pressing it gently so it stays put.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 6: Let It Dry</strong></h4>



<p>Place your bird on a flat surface and let it dry completely. This might take a day or two,so be patient!</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 7: Paint Your Bird</strong></h4>



<p>Once dry,it’s time to bring your bird to life with color! Use acrylic paints to decorate it however you like—maybe a red hat,a cheerful yellow body,or even glittery wings. Let the paint dry before handling it.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Step 8: Add a String and Hang It Up</strong></h4>



<p>Thread a string through the wire loop,tie a knot,and your bird is ready to hang on your Christmas tree!</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>That’s it! Now you have a festive little bird with a Christmas hat to brighten up your tree. 🎅🐦✨ Happy crafting!</p>
