Christmas scenes on bird perches, handmade, red and green, white bottle brush Christmas trees. Holiday decor for your tree and home. This bird perch was created using red and green and white decorative holiday fabrics, wrapped around to create a rustic background. Berries, ribbon ties and birds embellish the perch. Two white bottle brushes and birds are securely attached to the frame. The ornament hangs from a fabric rag tie. This bird perch is approx. 6 inches long.

Each of the bird perches is carefully constructed from start to finish by me. I tend to be a perfectionist and have a critical eye for knowing when it is just right. I go back and back until it is just how it needs to be!

How do I use these ornaments?
-Christmas tree ornaments
-they make great wall hangings in bedrooms and bathrooms
-they look fabulous hanging down from a door knob or on the front door knocker
-Christmas presents-t a special gift this would make

My Rag Wreaths:
My rag wreaths are just what I say; they are simple and rustic. I take brand new designer fabrics and shred them down by hand to create my unique, decorative wreaths. After the fabric is shredded and the wreath is created, the ends of the fabric are cut, usually, with a variety of my pinking shears. But, they truly are 'raggy' and so you should expect some of the wreaths to have (to see) some rough edging. That is on purpose!

How do you care for your rag wreaths?
First, I recommend treating your wreath with scotch guard. When your wreath is not being displayed, I recommend storing it flat, upside down. While you are displaying your wreath, I recommend switching it 45 degrees once a week to keep the entire wreath fresh and from settling. To keep your wreath fresh, you can dust it with swiffer style dusting rags, you can lightly vacuum it using your vacuum cleaner extension tools and you can even place the smaller wreaths into a pillow case and put it into your dryer on the "fluff air" cycle. You can also use an old style, taped lint roller.
