Guide step %d
1   Cut a 14 x 18 cm piece of cardboard from a cardboard box. Cut grooves at the top and bottom spaced 1 cm apart. Wrap warp threads (thin cotton twine) around the grooves, for example 13 warp threads on the front and back as shown in this picture. Wrap an additional warp thread around the first and last grooves to keep the threads taut.

3   Cut the warp thread loops in the middle on the back. Tie them together in pairs with small knots at the top and bottom to prevent the woven section from sliding.

5   Cut the eyes, the beak and the wings from craft felt and glue on with textile glue. Push a stick through the warp threads at the bottom for the bird to perch on.
