![]() Then release the top tail and press down to secure the two cardinals together. Using an x-acto knife or any sharp object, reach in to remove the tape liner. Once you have the two cardinals aligned, hold them down while opening up the top cardinal’s tail to reveal the tape underneath. Now align your second cardinal on top of the one with the tape. Make sure you cover the narrow areas of the beak and the feathers at the top of the head. Then add more tape to the rest of the cardinal’s body. Place double sided tape on fold lines of cardinal Don’t worry about cutting the tape pieces to the exact length as the fold lines, just a general match will do. Cut two pieces of double sided tape and place one along the wing fold line and the other along the tail fold line. Take one of your cardinals and flip it over to the back side. Now repeat step 2 and step 4 with your other cardinal cutout, so you should end up with two cardinals that are mirror images of each other. Place black feather piece up against cardinal’s beak Turn the piece over and place it onto the cardinal’s head, next to the beak. You can cover the whole piece with glue but this way you have a clean, glue-free part to handle. When you flip them over they should look like this: Front side of black feather piecesįor this step take the same black piece as the one in the image below, and flip it over to the same side on which you glued on the grey circle. You should end up with two pieces like this: Back side of black feather pieces Place grey circle over hole in black piece Now take a grey circle and place it over the hole, making sure to cover the hole completely since this will be your cardinal’s eye. Take both your black pieces, which is the black feather on the cardinal’s neck, and place them side by side making sure they are mirror images of each other. Beak on cardinalįor this step you can do two pieces at once. This is how your beak should look once you’ve glued it onto the head. Take notice of the way the beak is positioned: the slight bump is near the bottom and the beak is curving downwards. Then take your beak and line up the top corner of the beak with the divot and the bottom corner of the beak with the edge of the cardinal’s neck. You should see a slight divot on the top of the beak area-use this divot and the point where the beak area meets the cardinal’s neck to determine your glue area (see arrows on left side of image below). To start, put some glue on the beak area of the cardinal’s head. You’ll be doing the next few steps two times, but mirror images of each other, because we want to end up with two cardinals that we attach together to create our final cardinal. Make sure that if you duplicate the pieces for cutting and you’re using paper that is one-sided, flip the duplicate over so it’s a mirror image of the first.
