Spooky birds, such as crows and ravens, are perfect Halloween decor, and can be easily created with newspaper and a few simple supplies! I showed how in the recent At Home section of the New York Times! (In case the title of the post shocked you, a group of crows is referred to as a “murder”!)

You’ll need newspaper, scissors, masking tape, acrylic craft paint, paintbrush, wire, wire cutters, and pliers! And something pointy to poke holes (like cuticle scissors)

Each bird I made came out a little differently and it was fun to see how they have their own personalities. I hope you’ll give it a try!!
Happy Halloween!
