Bouncing Festive Birds

Here’s a spin on the symbol of peace using Australia’s colourful and vibrant birdlife.

Step 1

Create the base of the bird’s body from tightly formed aluminium foil.

Step 2

A Modelling Spring has two different ends – a metal plate at one end, with an adhesive pad at the other. Attach the plate end to the foil body with tape.

Step 3

Model Magiclay (or Modelling Foam) over the body and the tape join. Be careful not to cover the spring’s coil. Experiment with marbled and mixed Magiclay colours.

Step 4

Add additional details, e.g. beak, eyes, wings and feathers.

Step 5

Peel the protective paper off the adhesive pad, then attach the spring to a Wooden Modelling Base. Students may choose to decorate the wooden base.

Step 6

Leave to air dry.
