Birdcage Decoration with Rinea

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Bird in its Birdcage decoration.

This a fun project you can make with the kids or just for fun.

Materials Used:

Rinea Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper

Rinea Starstruck Cobalt/Cobalt Foiled Paper

LittleStuff PDF: Birdcage

Kaiser Crafts: Black Jewel

Xyron Creative Station Lite: Adhesive

Imagine Crafts: Tear It Tape

Art Glitter Glue

Distress Oxide ink: Hickory Smoke

Distress Oxide Ink: Chipped Sapphire

Recollections Brand 110lb Cardstock: White

String: 2 Inches

Let's get Started

I gathered all the components for the birdcage. I printed the pattern from LittleStuff PDF: Birdcage, Along with Rinea Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper and Rinea Starstruck Cobalt/Cobalt Foiled Paper.

1 Birdcage base, 1 Birdcage inside base, 2 Birdcage inside liners,

8 Birdcage strips(wires of the cage), 2 small circle tabs, 1 Bird body, and 2 wings.

Birdcage: I ran all the cut-up patterns through the Xyron Creative Station and adhered them to the back of the Rinea Glossy Silver/Gold Foiled Paper and trimmed them all out.

Then, I added a bit of Art Glitter Glue to all the small tabs and press the base of the birdcage to the tabs. I repeated this to the other side. I then adhered the side together and used two small clothespins to hold the seems together until they were dry.

Next, I inked all the components of the birdcage with Distress Oxide ink in Hickory Smoke.

Next, I adhered the inside bottom layer to the cage.

Then, I added the wires to the birdcage base. I put a bit of Imagine Crafts Tear It to one end of the strips and adhered them to the inside of the base. I repeat this with all the wires.

Next, I adhered the inside liners to the base of the cage to hide the bottom of the wires.

Then, I put some Imagine Crafts Tear It Tape to the 2 small circles. I then place the tops of the wires to one of the circles. I started with 2 then continues to adhere the rest of the wires. I then adhered the top circle to make the cage top look finished.

Now, the birdcage is complete. I set it aside while I work on the bird.

The Bird: I ran the bird body and wings through the Xyron Creative Station Lite. Then, I peeled off the adhesive liner and ran it through again. This way the bird was sticky on both sides. I then placed the bird and the wings onto the Rinea Starstruck Cobalt/Cobalt Foiled Paper I then trimmed it out.

Next, I inked the bird body and wings with Distress Oxide Ink: Chipped Sapphire.

Then, I added some Imagine Crafts: Tear It Tape to the wings and adhered them to the body. I curved them a bit for some dimension.

Next, I punched a small hole to the top of the birdcage and to the bird. I then threaded some string through the bird and then through the top of the birdcage. I tided a knot at the top to keep the bird floating in the cage. *optional you can add a small bead for a more finished look.

Now, the Birdcage with a small bird is complete! You can make these for decorations or gifts.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today. I hope you found some inspiration!
