DIY Bird Cage Part 2

I finally finished the bird cage (as you already know if you read the previous post).  It was a fairly simple chore.  Jamie was lucky enough to get to help me.  First we measured out all the ribbons to the correct length.  Each ribbon was layered one on top of the other so it had this look:

Next step was to glue all the ribbons together.  We used hot glue & careful centered each ribbon.  When that was done I added the sign to the ribbon & glued it to the bird cage (again the lucky groom was my assistant).  Once the sign was secure I wrapped a red feather boa around the bottom of the cage & added two red feather hair clips to the top.  It's all done & looks like this...

We finished the Bird Cage!

Well yesterday was my Friday! I'm on 4 days off due to my unusual, but at the same time awesome work schedule! After working a 7 day stretch, I can always look forward to 3 or 4 day weekends. Instead of going out with the guys to attend a Wizards Basketball Game, I agree to stay home with the boys. We had fun, they enjoy spending time at the new house! It will be nice this summer, school will be out, and we can all be under the same roof. So anyway, Last night I had the twins so my fiance could have this meeting with the girls, for their Mom's Club.

When she got home, I must have won the lottery or something! Ha, I was the lucky one to assist her in anyway possible, so we could finish this bird cage, which we are obviously using for our Wedding Card drop holder at our reception. Yes, that's why they call me the #1Groom! I go above and beyond the call of duty. No really, I was very happy to help. We had a good time decorating the bird cage, and it was kind of fun! Except for the burning of fingers, from the hot glue gun, while applying the ribbons. The finished product turned out to be awesome, it looks really good! There will be a picture of it soon added to this post. I guess it's on to the next project at hand, H mm... I wonder what it could be?
