Two paper birds

When looking up this paper owl I showed you some weeks ago, I found also this free bird template and as it should be a wren one of my moms the preferred birds, I downloaded immediately the pattern to try. 

I took several print-outs to a crafting-talking-evening with my german girls and we all made one birdie. 

 I should have known before that they can't have the same size like a real wren (would be too fiddly). But for me they are really enormous! Even bigger than a blackbird!

The pattern is good and easy to assemble, the only critique I have is that the tail is visible from beneath, where are the cutting and folding marks and the piece number visible. I glued a paper scrap over it to cover. 

The only difficult (eh, really bothering) step is the feets! Maybe my metallic wire was too thick, but it took ages to install them! This is why the second one is sitting ;-)

In the end I like the couple and send them to my mom! Happy birthday to you! :-)

A bientôt,
Jane
