Happy Monday Everyone,
Norma here with you today!!
Today I have a sweet little bird cage assemblage piece to share with you. This project is very simple to create and I LOVE the way it turned out.
For this project I'm using the NEW
Bird Beauty stamp set along with bits and pieces from my handy dandy scrap pile :D
I embossed all of the stamped images with black Super Fine Detail embossing powder. Then I spritzed the bird's nest with Lindy's and inked the edges. The base is just an empty ribbon spool (I don't like anything to go to waste around here, lol). I used my Exacto knife to cut a slit for the paper to go into.
This bird is embossed with the same black embossing powder and inserted into the spool the same way.
To create the bird cage I used 20 gauge wire, wire cutters, the rim of a mason jar and hot glue. I simply cut the wire into strips, wrapped them around each other on the top to create a dome and hot glued the ends inside the rim. Next I glued the ribbon spool to the mason jar rim.
To keep with the feathered theme, I added beautiful feathered wings from the craft store.
I found the perfect hanger in my stash of findings. The beautiful blue gemmed piece came from a local thrift store. I think it may have been on a chandelier at some point.
I added cream colored glittered tulle to soften the edges of the wired bird cage.
An angel in near!!
