Sometimes you come across a decorative gourd that is crying out to be a kiwi bird. If this happens to you, grab some googly eyes, feathers and have fun!

By Andrea Mulder-Slater

What You Need:

  • a decorative gourd
  • googly eyes
  • feathers
  • glue
  • magic markers (optional)

What You Do:

Set the gourd up so it looks like a bird with a very long beak. Add googly eyes, feathers etc., until the gourd takes on the appearance of a kiwi bird. Continue to embellish with markers or whatever you have on hand. Display your sculpture proudly. It’s just that simple.
