Birds and Beads



Hi everyone... I'm back with another bird project for you!  Do you go to Michael's a lot?  I find myself running in there all the time.  I find my thriftiest craft projects there.  For today's project, I bought a $1.99 package of chipboard birds.  I painted them with tan and turquoise.


Next I traced the birds and cut them out of echo park http://echoparkpaper.com/ paper. I cut them a bir smaller than my tracing so you can see the painting.



Next I added a wing and an eye.

I decided to make these 4 birds hang vertically.  I strung beads on pink baker's twine and strung the birds together.




So simple and easy!
