I recently made two different crafts with a favorite theme as of late, little birds. The first I made for Ava's last empty wall in her room. It involves a canvas, scrap-booking paper and modge podge. (oh and a bit of paint, I just stole some extra to paint the background from Ava's bathroom I was painting at the same time.) I really liked how it turned out and with Hobby lobby deals and craft supplies I already had it was only about $10 total.
AM and myself made these cute little ornaments. This involved sculpting the little birds out of clay and baking them. We followed a very helpful online tutorial for them and loved how each one was just a little bit different but oh so cute. (With little toddler hands around we hung them from our dinning room light fixture for easy out-of-reach drying).
Last year I really focused on cooking, I think this is the year to focus on crafting. I am hoping to get Ava's play room and my studio put together over the next month which should be the perfect creative space for both of us.

That bird wall hanging is adorable! I love it!
Are you familiar with Portlandia? Have you seen the "put a bird on it" clip from that show? It fits well with your recent bird projects. :)
