I went a little birdcage crazy.
This birdcage is about the size of a pint of ice cream or maybe just a tad bigger than that.
I covered the "floor" of the cage with paper scraps.
The bars are covered in rhinestones.
I used a variety of gorgeous new flowers all along the edge.
The bird is a simple cut out. I found the template online and simply sandwiched the string between two birds.
I also added the word bird, hand cut of course, to the middle of the string.
Then I figured if one birdcage was cool, wouldn't a garland of little birdcages be even cooler?!
These birdcages are much smaller. They would fit inside a yogurt container.
Here are some close-ups (they're smaller than they are in these photos – they're tiny):
Here's the good news! I'm going to be sharing how to make the birdcage garland during my Live With Prima class on August 9 at 8pm EST! So be sure to check it out!
Thanks for stopping by!
Julie, I think that you’re mixing trends…that looks like a banner of bird cages. How fun! Funny thing is that I love bird cages but not so much the actual birds. LOL
