Prima Frameworks Birdcage: Shabby Chic Photo Display
Do you have a special photo you want to display in your home? A special event you’d like to showcase? I have a new grandniece who has made my sister a grandmother for the first time. I thought this would be a nice gift for her.
The Frameworks Birdhouse from Prima can be decorated so many ways, I chose to go Shabby Chic with pink and white roses to that coordinate with my photo. This is one of those projects that just flowed, everything came together so nicely.
I tried out the paperclay from Prima, I really liked how it looks like stone. The heart mold from WOW was a great choice and fit perfectly on the top of the birdcage along with some twine.
I knew I wanted to suspend some sort of banner on the inside, and the Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Thinlits fit the name and were chunky enough to run through my sewing machine.
A new product that I tried out was the Prima’s Art Stones. They are unique paperclay balls in various sizes that add a nice texture and can be painted or left as is. They were the perfect touch for the bottom of the cage. I think it gives this a garden look.
I have shot a full process video of this project. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.
