D.I.Y Paper Bird Cage Party Decor
The lovely and incredibly talented Laurie Cinotto created this adorable D.I.Y. Paper Bird Cage Project for Janie at The Bride's Cafe and they agreed to let me share it with you all here on Creature Comforts too (yay - thanks ladies)!
What I find so great about projects like this is how customizable they are. By simply choosing papers in colors and patterns that reflect your taste best, you can make a collection of unique pieces to bedeck your next party with. These bird cages would look great clustered on a tabletop (arranged at different heights) or hanging from branches or ribbons. Perhaps at the end of the fete you might even like to send your guests home with one to remember the event by.

We're totally loving this idea!
These might make magnificent namecards... maybe write folks' names on the birds?
Do you sell them personally or just recommend ideas?
Hey, I am checking this site from my Blackberry and it looks kinda funky. Thought you’d want to know. It’s a great post though, didn’t mess that up

I held a garden party and instead of pitting th birds in i put tea light candels and had them on the tables it looked fabulous
These are so cute!
I just found this link while looking for DIY wedding decor ideas. I am having an outdoor vintage garden wedding and I absolutely love these. I am going to use them for my seating chart.
soooo adorable... I can't wait for my girls to go to sleep so I can try these!

The template and tutorial are super helpful, thanks! My sister loves birds, I'll have to make some for her.
OMG the birds are adorable definity bookmarking this page and trying this later
You are so creative! I really like it when people do things with their own hands. I mean you could easily run to the next shop and buy some decor but you do it yourself and it looks not only great but most of the time better.
