I’m still on my Valentines kick! I love all the paper birds I’ve seen on Pinterest and decided to see what I could come up with. I have lots of scraps around the house from all my projects – here is what I did with scraps and a bird template from Creative Comforts Blog…thank you for the inspiration!
Under $4 to make, including the $3 frame ~ that’s pretty darn good!
For the birds, I used leftover LOVE paper purchased at Hobby Lobby
from my daughter’s framed heart Valentine project.
I used scrap scrapbook paper for the matte,
jewelry wire, scissors, tape and a little hot glue…voila!
The glass was removed from the frame.
I cut out hearts from the LOVE paper to make
the wings and the dangling heart on the string.
I used a black crayon around the edges of the
birds to give them a more vintage look.
You can learn how to make the framed heart on the right in my
“My Love Affair with Frames“ post.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cheers!
