dd (four) is going to be a sparrow for her school concert, so the easy bit is brown tights and a big brown t-shirt.
I'm stuck on the head/beak bit though - my idea is a cap made of strips of black paper with a triangle of yellow card attached for a beak - but I am so rubbish at these things I need a step by step guide, and internet has drawn a blank (apart from one site that cheerily suggests an old shower cap with yellow feltpen triangle on the front).
Can you help? - inc. by links to sane papercraft sites?
