About this Event

"Nest & Notes" – Upcycled Bird Nest Frame Art Workshop $35.00
Create Nature-Inspired Art from Reclaimed Material

Saturday October 4th

1:00-3:00

In this hands-on upcycle workshop, we’ll transform old picture frames into beautiful, nature-inspired wall art using vintage sheet music, moss, branches, and tiny birds. You'll collage background layers with music paper, then build a cozy 3D bird nest scene using natural and repurposed elements.

This project is perfect for anyone who loves crafting, nature, or giving new life to old objects. You’ll leave with a unique, whimsical piece ready to hang.

What we’ll provide:

  • Old frames (or bring your own!)
  • Vintage music paper, moss, twigs, glue, and decorative birds. Please also feel free to bring any additions you may like to add or share.
  • Tools and materials for assembly
  • Guidance and inspiration

Come ready to get a little messy, and create something meaningful from the forgotten and found.

All classes at Thrifty Connections are intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+.
