Beaded Parrot Craft

Parrot made from pony beads with pattern

Make and hang this colorful Beaded Parrot to hang from your backpack or purse. You can also make them as gifts for friends or family. A great idea would be to make them and donate as outlined in this post from our sister site  DIY to Donate.

Trivia:

As a general rule, the larger the bird, the longer the expected lifespan. Some parrots live as long as 75 years. Source: The Spruce Pets – How Long Do Parrots and Other Birds Live.
