Finished the Wreath

Ok Remember the Coffee Filter Wreath?
I do like it plain like this and maybe will make another .
But I added some birds and some ribbons....

Now I have to figure out what to do with the tree!!




Then I got busy working on a little metal suitcase I picked up....

I covered it with old sheets of music, handle covered in some old binding that I stamped with some feathers.

Then I altered the inside and added a real birds nest and some quail eggs as well as some other little trinkets.

This was a lot of fun, I will have to look from some more boxes or old cases to play with some more!

  1. Hi Kim,
    I think your wreath turned out FANTASTIC!!!! and I love the thought of doing the tree,I can't wait to see how you will finish it. I definitely could see strains of pearls and maybe tissue paper flowers tucked in.
    I love what you did with the old suit case. It is a treasure within a treasure. WONDERFUL!!!!

  4. Kim,
    Love that wreath, especially the one with birds on it. Wow, the suitcase too - but I'm a sucker for birds, nests, weeds lol. You know. The gift mart sounds exciting, your that close to NY? Jealous!!! Lisa
