When I am planning a class, I always make more than one example of the project. When I made the little wire birdcages, I probably made two thousand or more, since they were pretty complicated and I wanted to streamline them before writing up instructions for the online class. Online versions have to be extra careful since the student isn't in the same room to easily ask questions like at an art event workshop.
So, as I was spiffing up the studio and getting ready for company and for the holidays, I came across those two thousand plus cages- here, there, and everywhere around the room.
Instead of packing them away to make room for holiday things, I decided to use them as holiday decorations on my mini tree.
Of course, the tree is pretty tiny, and they take up most of it, but I like the look. I think I'll put some on my big tree in the house too.
Wouldn't they be cute with a few tiny shiny brites in the cage?
Since I have a few thousand of them to use….
I think it is GREAT that you are using those cages in your Christmas décor! I love the Birdsong cage I made sooo much! It is on display in my living room.
Oh, I spy tulle-covered jars full of something wonderful, I’m sure!
I’ll be thinking and thinking and thinking of all of you lovely ladies gathered for Christmas creative goodness tomorrow, Karla!
Love how they look as ornies! I bought the tut and haven’t had the time to make one yet, too much going on here. Next up is cataract surgery for me! At 47years I’m just falling apart!
BTW – Love the angel wings!
Have fun playing!

I really enjoyed those cages, I know it wasnt an easy project, I hope the ladies werent too frustrated at Birdsong. I really love having them everywhere! They might hang from the ceiling next, that could be cute.
Yes, Linda, those tulle covered jars are for the classes, lots of kits ready to go. Im very excited, all the fun starts tomorrow.
How you make me swoon, Karla. The cages are wonderful and look beautiful with the trees!
