New Video! UpCycling Candy Wrappers: DIY Chubby Bird

Don't you just love spring? Spring is my favorite season. As a child growing up in the Chicago land area, spring was the end to the dirty, grey snow and the beginning of shorts! Just thinking about it, makes me frolicsome. (Now, in sunny Arizona, I wear shorts all year!)


I digress...


In honor of Spring, I created a few chubby birds using up-cycled candy wrappers from Valentine's Day. (Love those Kisses!)



Here's a close-up that really show these girls' personalities.



This is a very easy project that would be fun to do with the kiddos. Don't believe me? Take a look at my technique video. The materials and sources can also be found in the video.




BTW, you may have seen this video in Stampington's PostScript! I was thrilled to be a guest artist for them this month!

Pin It


Happy Creating!
