A Weird Bird Whimsy Wagon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I spied the Fancy Ornaments<\/a>, I thought they would make an awesome structure for a carousel. The carousel was my original vision but I ended up with a wagon because the piece screamed out for wheels. There are a lot of animals available that would make a great carousel, so that may still be in the future. This could also be made with the new reindeer<\/a> for a seasonal theme. Since the weird birds are favorites of mine, they made the first piece. I hope the next one I see is one YOU’VE made!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Prep the ornaments, the wheels, and the fancy cogs by painting with an under color. Let dry and paint with a different color. When dry, scratch away some of top coat with sandpaper for grunge finish.<\/p>\n

2. Paint a small piece of dowel.<\/p>\n

3. Drill hole in ornaments to hold dowel in place.<\/p>\n

4. The wheels are made with a skewer for the axel. Tape the axel to the bottom of the larger ornament. This will allow the wheels to turn.<\/p>\n

5. Add Ivory Wired Ribbon to the hole in the large ornament.<\/p>\n

6. Print out the weird birds to the desired size and paint the backside black before cutting them out.<\/p>\n

7. Glue on the Weird birds using a small piece of dowel to reinforce them.<\/p>\n

8. Add a skull bead or other focal image to top.<\/p>\n
