Decoupage bird

First craft project from Homemaker magazine. Upcycled decoupage bird. Thrifted 99p bird ornament from Chelmsford Community Exchange. I used Emma Bridgewater Union Jack tissue paper, torn into small squares and applied with craft glue to cover the ornament. When dry I added a coat of gloss varnish. VoilĂ ! Old ornament given a contemporary new lease of life.
