My sister found a picture of something similar to this on pinterest but we lost it. They had painted a single bird on a branch on a canvas with old book pages on it. I instantly fell in love as my sister accidently closed the page. Whoops! But we just had to recreate it!
We took old book pages from a book that I got at a garage sale for a quarter and ripped them into pieces and modgepodged them onto a canvas.
Here's the picture I found. It's perfect for Valentine's Day coming up!
I set my sister to work on the book pages while I cut out a silhouette of the birds.
We modgepogded the birds directly ontop of everything. Beware, cheap printer ink DOES smear when mixed with modgepodge! It wasn't too bad though
Here's the finished project!
I considered hanging it on the wall in my craftroom but it doesn't match the decor on the other walls. You can find more pictures of my craft room here.
You can tell I have no patience to let things dry. Although I did let it sit in front of a fan for 10 minutes.
For now it's sitting on the top of our piano until we find a better spot.
You can purchase it online at my etsy shop
