Question

Can we put it in the corner?

Community Answer

Following the instructions, no, but if on steps 9 and 10, if instead of folding the 2 flaps up, you fold the top flap up and the bottom flap up behind the bird, you should be able to.
Question

Do I have to do it with the same color as shown?

Absolutely not! Since the finished product only vaguely resembles a character from the popular Angry Birds franchise, you can use any colors and designs you like.

You aren't supposed to fold the flap all the way. As you can see from the image, there should be a small space left between the upper flap and the lower flap.
