Kids Bedroom Decor: A Thrifty Little Birdcage

Posted: 18 Feb 2010 01:56 AM PST


This little birdcage was found at my local thrift store. I knew it would be darling in my little niece’s bedroom, who’s nickname is “birdie”.

Here’s the Before & After. I always love a good before and after (don’t you?!)

To make the little paper birds, I used a Quickutz die cut along with American Crafts’ Blue Skies paper. The birds are stuck two together with a glue dot. The bird cage was sprayed outside (in a cardboard box) with Krylon Bahama Sea (Gloss) spray paint.

One more thing to keep an eye out at the thrift store: bird cages.
