Birds of Catalonia - Plego Paper Bird Kits

A folder, a set of paper pieces and some time to create. Birds of Catalonia by Plego invites you to discover the pleasure of building a figure with your own hands and watching flat paper become a three-dimensional bird, one fold at a time.

This collection brings together crafts, nature and design in an experience that begins with assembly and continues with a decorative piece to enjoy. Choose from the 12 available models and find the bird that catches your eye through its colours, its silhouette or a distinctive little detail.

Art paper, colour and dimension

Each kit contains a selection of pulp-dyed art papers made with 50% cotton and resistant to fading from light. The different papers create the colours and volumes of each model, from the body to the small details that give each bird its character.

The pieces arrive pre-cut, with pre-scored fold lines. This preparation makes the work easier and lets you focus on the process: identifying the pieces, folding them and joining them together by following the instructions. As you progress, the figure gradually takes on its three-dimensional shape.

The result is a paper bird that highlights the beauty of the material and its folds. A piece to look at closely, move around and make part of your home décor.

What does each Plego kit include?

All the materials come in a sturdy, attractive folder, keeping the pieces and supporting information together until you are ready to begin.

The kit includes:

• Pulp-dyed art papers, with pre-cut pieces.

• Pre-scored fold lines to make assembly easier.

• Assembly instructions to guide you through the process.

• An educational fact sheet describing the main characteristics of your chosen bird.

To join the pieces together, you will need white craft glue. Prepare a comfortable work surface, lay out your materials and follow the sequence shown in the instructions.

Time to fold, build and discover

Building a paper bird is an invitation to spend time on a hands-on activity. You can work at your own pace, observe how the pieces fit together and enjoy the small steps that gradually bring the figure to life.

The educational fact sheet adds another dimension to the experience, helping you learn about the bird you are building. The model becomes a starting point for looking at nature with greater curiosity and noticing shapes and colours that might previously have passed you by.

It is an activity to enjoy on your own or to share with the family, helping younger children as they work through the assembly process.

A gift that offers an experience

Plego kits make a thoughtful gift for people who enjoy crafts, design and birds. Inside the folder is a project to make and a figure to keep once it is finished.

The assembled bird can find a place on a shelf, a desk or in a favourite corner of your home. You can also combine different models to create a small collection, enjoying the interplay of their shapes and colours.

Plego’s design approach

Plego is a project founded by brothers and designers David and Joan, with the collaboration of Gemma. Their creations turn a passion for paper and crafts into figures that you can assemble and incorporate into your home décor.

The brand uses FSC-certified papers sourced from responsibly managed forests, along with locally manufactured materials.

Choose your bird and start bringing it to life. Paper, a little creative time and the pleasure of seeing your finished creation.
