This Is About More Than Birds
It is a tiny invitation to slow down and play.
There is something delightful about watching a collection of simple paper shapes become a character with an expression, attitude, and tiny story of its own.
You don't have to be productive. You don't have to make something perfect. You get to spend a little time cutting paper, trying combinations, and making something simply because it makes you smile.
One bird. Fifteen minutes. A little more breathing room in your day.
Create Characters With Personality
The recipe is only the beginning.
Change the colors. Combine unexpected pieces. Add patterns, doodles, expressive eyes, long legs, tiny shoes, or a completely ridiculous hat. Your finished bird should feel like yours.
You'll Love This If
