“With Lia, you get a ton of beautiful projects from one site. It saves me time searching the web, and the project tutorials and videos are easy to follow. I definitely get my money's worth every month!” Vivian

Our little paper bird cages are the perfect DIY for Fall home decor. Made from a dark teal and gold metallic paper, these little 3D paper decorations are simple to make at home. If you have a cutting machine, simply click on the SVG file below then print and cut on your machine. You can size to fit your papers. If you want to cut by hand, you can download the PDF below and print the template onto your paper. The patterns are ready to print onto 8.5×11 and 11x 17 paper. Trim the pattern using a sharp craft knife then assemble the paper bird cage using glue. For our bird cages we used a text weight metallic paper, but a card stock would work well too. Just make sure you score your corners well.

The little loops on the top make these paper decorations perfect for hanging on a tree during the holidays. Or you can sit them on the mantle with a cute little bird like we have here. We would love to see what you choose to do with your paper bird cages. Send us a picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the tag @liagriffith and we will share our favorites! Enjoy! ~ Lia

This is so amazing (as is everything you do!) but I can’t get my Sizzix eclips2 to score and not cut the score lines! It’s scoring them but then cutting them also. Any tips?

Thanks!

  Oh no! Unfortunately I don’t have much experience with the Eclips2– hopefully Sizzix customer service can help you!

Thank you for sharing these beautiful bird cages. I love to make things I can give to friends and family as little surprises to brighten their day, so these will definitely become gifts for a few special people, as well as be on display in my house by this afternoon! I appreciate your creativity and generosity in sharing the file. Have a great day.

Wow those bird cages are wonderful, would be quite a job to cut out by hand I think. Would love to make those for Spring actually or use more Fallish tones of papers for now. Love how they look tho. Making several small cages for holiday tree would be quite different idea. So much to think about.

  I think they are so great all year round! They can be used for a Christmas tree and then for a Mother’s Day brunch. 😉

Lia, right now Michaels has your Circut Explorer teal on sale for $249.95. I could put this on my credit card but hesitate as will I have to buy bunch of other things for Cricut to work as I’d need it? I hate to pay that much for cutting machine then not be able to afford all the goodies to make it run as it should. Am pretty scared about paying that much for any machine. Have been debating about buying new tv when Black Friday comes around. Can’t afford to have to keep buying parts/whatever so it will work correctly as it ‘s meant to work.
Your honest advice would be so appreciated that make it work correctly and effectively Thanks. Happy weekend
Would it be possible for you to answer me in an Email? pretty please?

  If you are not in a rush the Black Friday sale will be the best bet for saving dollars. The only other materials I use are the mats and blades which have to be replaced now and again. Some machines are bundled with the tool set and the scoring tool which are also handy. This bundle does come with 2 mats and one blade and I think that is standard for the machine. Does that help? I am here for advise anytime. 😉

These are so beautiful and very elegant!

May I ask where the little green bird is from, you always have the most adorable props 🙂

  I have had that little bird forever so I am hard pressed to remember. Maybe a craft store?

I do love your designs and posts.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I crochet and I believe, this bird cage, needs a crocheted bat.

Hi Lia! Would you be able to tell me the make/model of your cutting machine? I don’t have one yet and I want to get the one that works best with your files! Love your stuff! Thanks!

  I would recommend the Cricut Explore (http://shrsl.com/?~9v01). Here is why https://liagriffith.com/cricut-explore-versus-silhouette-cameo-comparison-video/

Lia
I may have finally met my DIY match – but in saying that, I’ll probably still try to hand-cut this one.
It’s so beautiful, and I believe that I may just have to have one . . . or three 😉

If I get time and my health cooperates I will put paper bats and and the little candle lights in the cages then hang the cages from chains that are holding my three Boston ferns on my front porch. What a delightful gift you have created to share. Blessings to you.
