I am a bit of a vintage nut while at the same time I have a total soft spot for the fact that little birds seem to be everywhere at the moment. So I was super happy when I happened to discover a great tutorial to make these gorgeous paper birdcages. You can read the tutorial here. These would be a fantastic addition to a little girls bedroom or as centerpieces. I will be having a go at these myself in the next few weeks much to Mr. B&B's dismay.
Another quirky idea for venue decoration, or again could be used around the home requires not much more than a variety of scrapbook paper. I think it's quite effective and could possibly be an adaptation of a wishing tree. You can find the tutorial with all the details here.
Of course, somewhere along the line I think most brides think about featuring love hearts as part of the big day. I love this paper wreath and the idea of it can be made in any colour scheme/design. I am thinking about a smaller version or maybe looking into making a garland instead of a wreath. I even looked through my scrapbook leftovers while the weathers been wet and miserable to see if I could make a start. I'll have to find an hour or two one night when I have some peace and quiet. Check out the hybrid chick blog & tutorial here.
And of course, you may have seen me declare my love for these little classics over on the Facebook Page but I love the concept of adapting them into a garland. It's almost as if it was meant to be...I already have an idea for my own version of these later in the year! You can find the tutorial from another pinwheel fan here.
These gorgeous ideas can be adapted to most occasions simply by varying the designs or colours in which they are created. I have a few more paper creations to share with you but I will be posting those on Facebook in the coming few days.
I'm hoping the rain isn't around for long but if it does happen to stay then I hope you have fun brightening up the inside of your home until we see a hint of Summer...!
