You will need:
- whole walnut shell, split in half
- card stock
- stiff wire
- scissors
- glue
- pink and black paint
You'll need both halves of the walnut shell to make a flamingo. Trace the
shape of one half of the shell onto cardstock. Continue into the shape of
a flamingo and cut it out, trimming a bit extra from the body edges so the
card stock doesn't protrude from the nut edges.
Rasp off a little of the shell's inside edge where the legs will come
out so the shell halves will still fit flat together. Bend a piece of
stiff wire into a narrow V and glue to card stock body. Then glue shell
halves together with card stock body and legs in between. When the glue
has dried, pain entire bird pink, add details in black.
