The bird cage is made from bent stub wires which are attached to a wooden icon plate. Natural eggs are placed inside the cage. A feathered bird is glued onto the top of the finished bird cage and a feather is placed as decoration next to the caged egg.
Bend four 50cm long stub wires around the middle of a large bottle in order to achieve a curved shape. NB: use both hands and push firmly at the curve.
Use a drill with a 2mm drill and drill eight holes on the wooden square icon plate. Drill the holes at a slight angle towards the centre of the icon plate, making the inserting the stub wires into the holes easier.
Insert two stub wires in the corner holes in the icon plate, forming a diagonal cross. Cut the ends by approx. 1cm and DON'T FORGET to place the eggs onto the icon plate before inserting the last stub wire.
Bend a stub wire; attach it at the top where all the stub wires are connected and twist. Trim the ends like a spire, approx. 2.5cm from the top of the cage.
Use a glue gun for attaching a large wooden bead onto the spire and for attaching a feathered bird on top of the wooden bead. Also use a glue gun for attaching the egg and the feather inside the cage making sure that these do not move around inside the cage.
