Create your own heirloom birds with the “Let’s Make Spun Cotton Swallows” online class and supplies kit from Full Moon Wares.

In this class, I’ll guide you step-by-step through making antique-inspired spun cotton swallows—graceful, flying birds that feel as though they’ve been cherished for generations. These swallows are perfect for year-round display, meaningful gifting, or adding a sense of movement and tradition to your home.

Over the nearly 3-hour in-depth video tutorial, you’ll learn both traditional spun cotton techniques and several methods I developed specifically for this project, including how to:

  • Make wings and tails using cotton felt
  • Create and shape a lightweight armature
  • Apply cotton batting and punis to build form
  • Refine cotton for smooth, finished surfaces
  • Paint swallows using a guided painting method
  • Finish your birds for hanging or display

The project is broken into 10 clear steps, allowing you to pause, rewind, and work at your own pace.

Your curated supplies kit includes the materials to make two spun cotton swallows (with extra materials), using the same techniques and materials I use in my own studio. Supplies include:

  • Hand-dyed silk ribbon
  • Vintage brass heart lockets
  • Three types of cotton for structure and finishing
  • Materials for making cotton felt wings and tails
  • Painting guide and embellishment supplies
  • Armature components and templates

How it works:

  • Purchase “Let’s Make Spun Cotton Swallows.”
  • Soon after, you’ll receive an email with a private link to the video tutorial.
  • Your supplies kit will arrive by mail.
  • Watch the tutorial anytime you want.

This class is designed for both first-time spun cotton makers and experienced crafters, offering foundational techniques alongside more advanced methods for creating expressive, flying forms.

Ready to begin? Add the kit to your cart and start making your own heirloom swallows.

These swallows at flight make an excellent accompaniment to my "Let's Make Spun Cotton Hearts" kit.

To complement any kit, consider my Spun Cotton Sampler Collection and Starch Glue Supplies Kit, which include larger quantities of many materials you'll use to make this project, and can also be used for other creations.
