My boys are avid fans of the game Angry Birds. They love to play it on Daddy’s phone — however, they truly enjoy the whole concept of the game, and love role-playing it! Well, I too have had Angry Birds on the brain. But I haven’t been playing it; in fact, in all honesty I am just no good at it. But I have taken my boys’ love of the game as an opportunity to MAKE STUFF! (Check out my plush Angry Birds!)
Yesterday I whipped up some Angry Birds Christmas ornaments. I am not kidding when I tell you my kids were standing at my feet waiting for me to finish them up! They are in love! [Come see how I made them!]
Project Estimate:
- ornaments, $1
- acrylic paint, $1
- felt scraps, 35 cents or on hand
- needle and thread
Total: $2 and up!

Did you try out water colors, in addition to the acrylic paint, and did it work out as well?
heather
@diy-day – watercolors won’t work as well because they aren’t opaque and will run if they get wet again.

we sometimes make ornaments out of hollow eggs and since my kids are 5 and 3, i let them use watercolors, but then i spray a sealer over them, so they don’t run or rub off. works great! i imagine you could do the same thing with these if you wanted to.
