Birdcage Designs

I have found a new hobby over the holidays.......making trinket boxes and accessories. I discovered this hobby after i started to decorate my bedroom at my mams with wall stickers of birds in cages. I already have an obsession with owls so now its birds aswell. I have been looking out for jewellery etc with them on so far i have 2 owl necklaces and 2 pairs of owl earrings and a pair of humming bird earrings. Anyways back to the point, i went to hobbycraft and bought loads of plain trinkets and bags, some acrylic paint, brushes and gloss. I then came home and sat at my desk creating designs from off the top of my head, decorating the boxes using paints, ribbons and embellishments. I am hoping to one day sell these and maybe extend to cushions and home accessories. I have found the perfect start to becoming an interior designer!

My designs:
The black and white trinket was my first design, followd by the heart shaped trinket and matching magnet, the oval trinket is inspired by the colours of my bedroom.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my new hobby and i will be posting more pics soon.

Bye for now!
