Supplies
Jumbo craft sticks
Black paint
Googly eyes
Black feathers
Yellow card stock or construction paper
Embellishments: scrapbook paperbandanna or fabric scrap, little straw hat
Tools: white craft gluescissors, paintbrush
Instructions
For the embellishments, you can make simple bows from scrapbook paper to use as hair bows (for girl crows) or bow ties for boys. The little straw hats can be found at your local craft store. I also used a bandanna which I cut down to a small square. Fabric scraps work great too!
Cut beaks from yellow card stock. Attach eyes and beaks with white craft glue. Attach embellishments such as bows.
If using a hat, be sure to put it on first as your googly eyes will need to be positioned farther down that crows not wearing a hat. Add some glue inside the hat and insert the stick. It will take some time to dry, so be patient! Alternatively, a grown up can use hot glue to make the hat stick immediately.
