Cheerful little birdies

Last night I couldn't fall asleep. I was awake until one, just because there was so much in my head that I wanted to make, that I could not shut my brain down long enough to drift off. And this afternoon, when the dynamic duo were taking their nap, I started one of them.

I wanted to make birds that you could cut out of one sheet of paper, and then fold so that you get the feel of a 3D bird. It took me some prototyping to get the right shape and place the wings so that they would look nice.

Then I took some pink and yellow origami paper, and some buttons, and off I went! The munchkin has already called dibs, she wants the birds to fly in her room!
