Bird Cage with Marjolaine
Hello friends, Marjolaine here. Today I'm scheduled for an off the page project and I thought this birdcage would be perfect. It was super easy to assemble and I'm thinking I would like to make many more for Christmas table center pieces.

I kept if fairly simple. The cage is painted with two layers of gesso and I used a script stamp on top to add texture. For my roses I used a six petal flower punch and followed this tutorial.

Fall Tags
Next up is this gorgeous Harvest chipboard. I used multiple inks and crackle to get this glassy effect! I love it!
On this one I used gesso and stamped on the chipboard then inked the edges.

Beautiful Bird Cage
Hello- Heidi here to hopefully give you a little vintage inspiration.
My project today is one of the birdcages from Gina's Designs (this one will be available soon!)- is this not the sweetest? It comes in 3 pieces, the cage portion is connected at the top very easily with some string and then there are slots on the bottom to tuck into. I painted mine, inside and out, before I put it together and would recommend it.. Then go ahead and alter to your hearts content! The little hanger on the top is a 7gypsies metal piece. I love the vintage feel to this and found I can add it to the entrance table or fire place. I didn't have one, but wouldn't a little bird be cute sitting inside? The size is about 8 inches so it can make quite a statement!!
Take care and have a fabulous day!
Heidi
