DIY Birdcage Art

Hello everyone!  Today I am sharing a tutorial on how to make a DIY Birdcage Art project.


Supplies:

Wooden Birdcage - Michaels, $4.99
Acrylic Paint Craftsmart Yellow - Michaels, $0.59
Scrapbook paper Recollections 'Keep Calm' - Michaels, $0.99.   I love this paper!  On one side it says 'Keep Calm and Carry On' with large and small crowns and the other side reverses to 'Now Panic and Freak Out'... with the crowns upside down - very cute!
Paintbrush
Clear Office Tape
Scissors
Sandpaper
Acrylic Easel - Dollar Store, $1.00

Tutorial:

Lightly sand the wooden birdcage to remove any sharp pieces. 
Place birdcage onto scrapbook paper and with a pencil trace around the outer edge.  Cut out.
Paint birdcage with the yellow paint, 2 coats.  Let dry.
Roll up a few pieces of tape and place them onto the back of the birdcage.  Place birdcage on the scrapbook paper.  Press firm.  Using the tape allows you to switch the paper to show the white or black side!

That's it - another DIY finished!

I put mine on a bookcase.  I have a light switch on the right hand side that I wanted to cover, since it's rarely used.  I put my Bircage Art on an acrylic easel to prop it up and sat it in front of the light switch.  Now we don't see the light switch but can still access it!

Now you see it....

Now you don't!

Doesn't this art give a lovely pop of color?  I am really enjoying this art piece - hope you do too!
