************************************************************
Now here's my two projects to share with you.
Making something to give as a gift or a home decor piece that helps
"Feed the Birds"
can be fun and easy.
Now let's rust the lid and make it smell Yummy!
Here's what you'll need.....
This product makes it easy to make something look like it's rusty.
Take 1 Tblsp. of Rusty Paper in a small bowl and mix in 1 tsp. of instant coffee and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. Glue your lid to the ring first and then paint with the rusty mixture. Let dry.
Here's a few more items you will need to complete you project.
I glued twine ribbon around the jar and added this cute butterfly to a burlap flower on the side.
Now glue a nest to the lid. Add a bird, flowers, twigs and leaves for a nature look.
Fill your jar with bird seed and enjoy Spring by "Feeding the Birds"

Project number two.
Spring Canvas!
Start with Canvas turned over to use the back of it.
This will create your frame.
Now to add a little mix media to the frame with a mask (Feathers) and Gesso. I also did a little splatter paint drops all over. For one more layer of texture use crackle paint.
Glue moss, a nest and a few feathers to the inside corner of your frame.
Cut out small banner shaped pieces from printed burlap and add stick-on letters then glue on a string. A piece of cardboard stripped down and Gessoed makes a great background for a garden card.
Add twigs and string for 3-d elements.
Now glue a few eggs and mommy bird to the nest. Add your banner and you have created a
"Spring Canvas"
I thought it needed just one more surprise element and this rusty old key was just what it needed.
Thanks for Hopping over to visit me. I'd love to read your comments about these two projects.
Happy Spring to All
Hugs, Laurie
