Birthday Bird

Theme for this fall...owls- Look WHOO'S in Fourth

Therefore I've made the following (using ppt) to have for birthdays. I will run them off on cardstock,  cutout,  and then attach to???  Here's the problem-what to attach?  Last year I attached laffy taffy rope to a birthday flower, but it doesn't stay firm.  Like most flowers it wilted! Guess I have awhile to decide.
