I just used this free one that I found on Pinterest.
You can choose any bird shape you like.
I printed this in a 4x6 size.

Because these are for the Christmas decor,
I have used Christmas themed paper.
Bend two paper clips per bird for the feet as shown.
Glue the two sides together using a big dollop of glue at the bottom of the bird's tummy to hold the paper clips.
Insert the paper clips and hold the two layers together for a minute while the glue sets.
You will have to manipulate the feet a bit so the paper bird will stand on its own.
Use for your Christmas decor...
Note:
Save this paper craft idea for Spring and make pretty Spring paper birds.
