Tiki Birds

Tiki Birds

Welcome to my tropical hideaway, you lucky people you! my daughter absolutely loves the Enchanted Tiki Room, so when it came time for her birthday I knew I wanted to somehow incorporate it. She chose a Lilo and Stitch theme, so basically a perfect bridge to Tiki Room, I mean…if Aulani can do it, so can I! Ha!

Making these birds is easy peasy and you know I’m the one for the easy peasy crafts. I am not lying to you. I’m the laziest crafter you’ll ever meet!

I will show you how I made my birds. First thing you’ll need are some paper party birds. I found a set of 6 on Amazon for around $10. HERE As well as metal rings that were also around $10 HERE.

Materials:

  • Paper birds
  • Craft hoops
  • White Cardstock (for Shells)
  • Hot Glue
  1. Carefully cut as much of the “wood” that the birds are “perched on”, using an blade or exacto knife.
  2. Hot glue the birds to the hoops near the claws to make it look like they’re perched on the hoop.
  3. I used my Silhouette machine to cut basic shell shapes as well as the bird names. However, this can easily be done by hand. To create the shell shape, cut a slit on the center of the scalloped side, overlap, and hot glue. Now it looks like a real shell!
  4. Add yarn, or string, or whatever you’d like to use to hang the hoops and that’s it! I used Command hooks to hang them from the ceiling.

Four materials and four steps. EASY PEASY! Please leave me a comment if you make the birdies. I’d love to know if you try this craft or if you have any fun ways to change it up!
