DIY Bird Ornaments for the Christmas Tree
I wanted to do some new ornaments this year. I set out to make something with a “tattered vintage” look. I had so much fun making Christmas stockings out of burlap and cotton that I wanted to do some ornaments with the same sort of feel.
I’ve never really done much designing of my own crafts. I’m more of a “copier”. But, I’ve been trying to stretch myself a bit and do some original things.
Let me tell you…I’m a very slow designer…
My first try at a bird ornament ended up looking like a 1st Graders art project!…
In the end, this is what they turned out like:
They are made out of damask, burlap, canvas, and different “accessories”. {“Accessorizing” them is my favourite part!}
I’ll be back tomorrow to give you a quick little tutorial on them…

These are amazing! I don't believe you that you are a copier, but you can be sure I will try my hand at copying these 😉
Hi Rita,
I am trying this again to see if you get this comment.
Have fun at your craft fair.

These.I.Love!
Sherrie, It worked! Thanks for giving it another try…:)
oh how cute these are.
So very pretty – I really like these. Wouldn't these make very pretty gift tags as well!
Those little burlap wings are so sweet! Thanks for linking up to the burlap party at WhisperWood Cottage!
I just came over from WhisperWood Cottage, congrats on your feature, these are wonderful! t.xoxoox
These are very sweet. I would love to know how to make them. I agree, they would make lovely gift tags.
So pretty. I have some chipboard birds I was going to glitter, but you have inspired me – I may change up my direction or just save some to make this cute at a later time!
Wow! You are a Christmas crafting genius! So glad I found your project via Centsational Girl.
Please stop by for a visit to my blog. I am currently in the midst of a Gifts to Make series.
Be Merry and Bright!
These are really beautiful. I've pinned them and am going to give them a go next year. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
