Recycled jar lids
Acrylic craft paint: orange
teal, purple, dark orange, dark yellow, light blue, pink, light green, magenta, black and white
Acrylic matte sealer
Tools: Round sponge applicators

Instructions
Wash and gently sand the jar lids to knock off any glossy finish.
Paint the jar lids with bright colors. Paint a second coat if needed.
Dip a round sponge applicator into white paint and dot two eyes onto each lid.
When white is dry, use a smaller round sponge applicator dipped in green paint to add the iris.
When green is dry, use a smaller round sponge applicator (or a paintbrush handle) dipped in black paint to add the pupil.
Use a toothpick to dot on a small dot of white onto the black pupil.
Add a beak with dark orange paint.
Use contrasting colors to paint on wings and foreheads.
