Bird cages aren’t just for birds! Fill this pretty decorative white bird cage with moss, twigs, and these lifelike feather butterflies for a beautiful piece of spring decor that you can whip up in minutes! I made this spring craft with just a few supplies to incorporate into my nature-filled spring mantel.

Open the top of the bird cage to position the branches. You can support them by leaning them against the side of the cage, or add a dab of hot glue to the base of the branches to help hold them in place if needed.
