Altered Altoid Tin: Bird Nest Box

Transform an ordinary Altoid tin into a charming miniature bird nest box! In this mixed-media class, you’ll explore the art of decoupage, collage, and assemblage as you give a humble metal tin a completely new life.

Inside the tin, you’ll create a tiny, three-dimensional bird nest using a variety of natural and decorative materials to build texture, dimension, and character. On the outside, you’ll design a whimsical bird-inspired collage, layering images, papers, and embellishments to create your own unique little bird box.

No two pieces will be alike! This is a playful project that encourages creativity, experimentation, and a love of birds and found materials. Come ready to cut, layer, glue, nest, and create a tiny world of your own.

Classes at Thrifty Connections intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+.

Class projects may vary slightly from examples shown in our monthly calendar. We embrace these variations as part of the magic and uniqueness of every session.
