Materials:

• Wooden bird shapes (can be found here or at most craft stores)
• Wooden dowels
• Fabric
• White craft paint
• Fine point black Micron pen
• Outdoor Mod Podge
• Colored twine
• E6000 Glue

Instructions:

1. Use a pen to trace around the wooden bird onto your fabric.
   
   
    
2. Cut out the bird shape, trimming about 1/8-inch off around the entire design.
   
   
    
3. Use Mod Podge to attach the fabric to the wooden bird.
   
   
    
4. Paint a white oval onto the fabric. You may need 2-3 coats so that the fabric does not show through.
   
   
    
5. When fabric is completely dry, write the flower names in the white oval. Let dry for about an hour.
   
   
    
6. Give both sides of the bird two coats of Outdoor Mod Podge.
    
7. Attach dowel to the back of the bird using E6000 adhesive.
    
8. Tie twine into a bow around the dowel, just underneath the bird.
