Step 1: Find Supplies

Start by gathering all the items you’ll need:

• Craft glue
• Bird seed
• Scrap paper

Step 2: Layout scrap paper and doodle with glue

Step 3: Apply bird seed

Sprinkle the bird seed on the glue doodles carefully. Watch as the glue doodles come to life as the seed sticks to the drawings. If you want to great extra creative, hand select the seed and place different types of seed on different part of the drawing.

Step 4: Let the doodles dry

Make sure the glue dries before tipping the pictures up on their sides.
