Lost in Paradise

Bird Cage 

Hello dear G45ers! 

Sharing a 3D paper Bird Cage
 featuring the ever so STUNNING 
Lost in Paradise Collection.

I love this collection, it puts
 you in a Tropical state of mind!
 It is so vibrant and pretty. I love all
 the gorgeous bird, floral and leaf imagery,
 lots to fussy-cut! I created this bright 
and colourful piece with my Silhouette, 
cutting dies, flowers, sisal, artificial 
moss and plastic fruits.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 

may use to recreate such a project:

G45 Supplies used:

3D Round Bird Cage by A Little Hut Design ID 26265

This beautiful birdcage can be used 
as a centerpiece, a tea light holder or
 any spring related decoration. 

The largest size it can be is: 7" x 12" 
(17cm x 30cm)

Various Cutting Dies

Red Double Sided Tape

White Sisal 

Artificial Moss

Metal Chain

Chipboard Window

Embossing Powder

Resin Ladder and Bird Bathtub

 Branches (paint these randomly
with some white gesso) 

Flowers

Flat Back Pearls

Plastic Fruits (peaches and acorns)

Tim Holtz Transparent Wings

Cut a bird cage from the pattern sheets 

and assemble accordingly. 

Note: the cage itself is not shown in 

the photo only the top and bottom 

pieces, I accidentally deleted it in 

during editing...(I guess this sort of 

thing happens haha.) 

Cut a few die-cut shapes for 

decoration and layering.

Fussy-cut some of the elements

 from the 12x12 paper pad. 

Add some sisal and artificial moss

 on the inside of the cage. Place the 

big fussy-cut birds on the inside in the centre. 

Tip: No need to glue them just let them sit

firmly on the sisal and artificial moss.

Emboss the cute little chipboard window 

and adhere to the open piece of the cage.

Layer the the fussy-cut birds, 

leaves, die-cuts, branches, flowers 

and plastic fruits. Place one of these 

clusters on each side.

Add some metal chain to

 the top of the cage.

Layer some more fussy-cut birds, 

leaves, die-cuts, branches, flowers 

and plastic fruits. Add to the top

of the bird cage.

Happy Papercrafting!
