Old newspapers are everywhere and they can be reused to make crafts. That's why I wanted to make a sparrow with some of them along with dry flowers. So let's see how to make this cute sparrow following few easy steps and using simple supplies.

For this craft I used supplies that I found at home which are:
- Old newspapers.
- Tall hay straw.
- Glue.
- Pencil.
- scissors.
- Dry flowers and branches.
Making Newspaper Rolls

To make our craft we have first to make newspaper rolls, here is how:
- Cut newspaper pages into rectangles varied in size.
- Take one newspaper piece and use the hay straw to roll it.
- Glue the rolled piece at its end.
- Pull the hay straw out.
- Repeat until you end up with around 25 newspaper rolls of various lengths and diameters.
Gluing the Rolls

After you draw the sparrow on a newspaper page, begin to glue the rolls on the drawing one by one next to each other until you fill it entirely.

After we remove the excessive parts of the page, we can add some dry flowers and branches to our sparrow:
- Glue one small flower on the eye.
- Glue a thin branch one side the to the bird and the other one on a thick branch and stick a flower petal on it.
- Use some dry petals and feather eucalyptus and glue them as a wing.
- Cut a triangle piece from a dry leaf and glue it to the beak.
A Bird on a Branch

Now you don't have to go out to see nature and birds because you have a sparrow on a branch at home. But unfortunately it can't sing!
