Day Five of the Bunny Hop

Hello there!  Welcome to day 5 of the bunny hop!  Don't you agree there have been some fabulous projects!  Today I have to share with you an altered birdcage that I made :)  The birdcage I picked up in the $1 area at Michaels last year and have been waiting for the perfect idea.


How fun did this turn out?!  I made the picture bigger than the page so you can see all the fun detail involved!  You can click on it as well to make it bigger.  I used moss to pad the bottom of the cage, then used a Melissa Frances nest and filled it with vintage sewing items.  I then wired up the prima leaves to some floral wire, that stuff is the best, the cloth wrapped wire.  It makes being able to make the branches perfect when working with something altered.  The flowers are prime, except the beautiful white rose which is a More Paper Than Shoes flower.  I made the base with the ruffle to make it stand out more when I hang it in my craftroom.  I hope you are enjoying all my projects and I'll be busy today making the last 3 days items! :)  Any suggestions then let me know if there is something you'd like to see made!


Make sure you stop by and visit all my friend's blogs as well to see some awesome projects!!!!!!!
