Things to Alter: Altered Birdcage for June


Hi all

I am back with an altered birdcage to share. Its available on the Things to Alter website here http://thingstoalter.co.uk/products/3d-bird-cage-with-roof-32mm-mdf-8-inches-high-and-6-inches-wide. We have a Facebook group here  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1578437669085933/ And our monthly challenge blog here http://thingstoalter.blogspot.co.uk/

 

I coated it in DecoArt Chalky finish paint. One coat of everlasting and then one coat of Weathered Wood crackle medium. I then used Serene for the final coat to get a nice cracked effect.



I used the flower grab bag and colored them in with DecoArt Metallic Lustre and Metallic s paints before gluing them to the cage.


I used the Curly Flourishes along the front and roof and decorated with pearls and brass flower charms.


I painted up the plastic candles like the ones from Poundland. The spiders and from PurpleDreamDesign and each one is different.


Thank you for visiting
