Trash to Treasures Tuesday - Bird Cage
I love thrift stores, yard sales and Goodwill for
places to find things that you can take and
enhance them and after reading different
blogs in the past year, you women have
taught me more about taking someones
trash and making it my treasure.
I went by Goodwill one day last week
on my lunch break and I found this .......
it was calling to me for a little love and
care.
I paid a whole $2.99 for it. It needed something
in top where there was a hole. I stopped by
Hobby Lobby (great store for crafts) and
purchased this wooden finial for the top.
I painted it white then when it dried I
put a little stain on it to give it that "old"
look.

my Mother supplied me with some red berries and
a gold pear. The bird, nest and eggs I purchased at
Hobby Lobby also.
hold a thin candle and I attached a clay
pot saucer that I also stained. On this I
rested my red 25 cent candle from a yard
sale.
it needed a little something more. That is
when I attached the other bird (two to a pack
for $1.99).
And added some ivy I had on hand.
I think the project turned out really nice.
