Pinecone Black Crows

We actually made these cute Black Crows last year, but since they are so cute and look so great on our Fall Mantel I wanted to share them with you.

These are very easy to make and the kids can do most of it.  I did help my daughter by spraying them with the spray paint.  She tried to do it her self but found holding the button down on the can was too hard.  I also cut out the beaks for her.

We used this as decorations last year and then I just stored them in a box with all my Halloween decorations.  They held up really great (as you can see) all I had to do was glue the feathers back on since they fell off in my over stuffed box.  But I thought these would look great on our Fall Mantel we did a few weeks ago so I pulled them out and added them.  These are a great decoration for Fall, Halloween, or even Thanksgiving. 

Supplies
Pinecones
Black Spray Paint
Small Straw Hat
Googly Eyes
Orange Felt
Black Feathers
Glue Gun

Directions

 Start by spray painting your pinecones black.  It is best to do this outside.

 

Then cut a triangle out of your orange felt (this will be the beak).

 Glue your googly eyes, beak, hat, and feathers onto your pinecone

 Now you have a cute Black Crow

 They look really cute on our mantel with our other fall decorations!
