Make a Cute Robins Christmas Card

Delight your friends and family by making this cute handmade card. It is an easy project and you do not need anything special. You will just need patience as the paint needs to dry at each stage if you want to get the best results.

You will need:

A5 sized card
white paint
brown paint
red paint
small paintbrush
black felt-tip pen
glue stick
old sponge or foam
small piece of black paper
scissors
cotton bud

What you do:

Write a Christmas message of your choice inside the card.
Dab the sponge lightly into the white paint and gently dab all over your card to create the snowy background. Only create a thin layer of snow so that you can still see some of the original colour showing through. Allow to dry.
Using your small brush, paint brown thumb-print shapes. Allow to dry.
After carefully washing out your brush, paint red circles on the bottom half of the brown shapes. Draw a small crest on top of each robin's head with the felt-tip pen. Allow the paint to dry.
Using the black felt-tip pen, draw legs on your robins.
Gently dip the cotton bud into the white paint, only getting a tiny amount of paint on it. Practise making small dots on a piece of paper first and then make two tiny dots for eyes on each robin. When these are dry, add a black dot in each eye using the black felt-tip pen. Cut tiny black paper triangles for beaks and glue one on each robin.
