Kooky little birds are cute, whimsical embellishments for junk journals |

[@jackyfreeman5530]

I made one of your birds using fabric for my slow stitching page and it turned out great! I'm going to make some more, maybe a flock of chickens 😂😂❤❤

[@annekenlon]

What a fantastic idea, using fabric! And it would be so easy to just embroider the dear little legs and feet, and add a wing, perhaps. I may join you in this fabric-y endeavor - thanks for the great tip! And thanks for watching!

[@cindycreateforlife]

Very whimsical indeed! FYI - birds knees go backward unlike us, but you do you!😁

[@annekenlon]

Oh my goodness, you know what, I KNEW that - but of course completely forgot about those backward joints when I was drawing! I'll make the bends going backward next time - THANK you for reminding me of that little ornithological feature!

[@jenXMAGA]

As soon as I seen it I just died laughing..... Right after she said "I've been doing it for half a day" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

I make sets of notecards and envelopes from recycled papers to give as gifts to friends who enjoy sending little notes. These birdies are perfect for those notecard sets.

[@annekenlon]

It's so funny you say that because I'm making some notecards for my sister this week and I am absolutely embellishing them with these birds! She loves birds! Thanks for watching!

[@SandiMo77]

These are darling, and yes, they do make you smile. Yay for whimsical journals!! It seems like everything is vintage, and while I do love vintage, I enjoy a healthy dose of whimsy as well. Thank you Anne.

[@annekenlon]

Let's all enjoy our whimsical moments together! Thanks for watching, Sandi!

[@judyharmon4586]

I've made those little " chirpy-birds" for the cards I send monthly to the cancer kiddos in TN; that's where we moved from to here 8 years ago.

[@annekenlon]

Yes, they have been so popular for cardmakers (which is my background in paper crafting as well) - and work so well for our journals as well!

[@debbiebreen6276]

These birds are adorable and very easy to make, lovely project.

[@annekenlon]

Thanks, Debbie! I do love them, too!

[@ludmilaschicchi8278]

These are so cute. I definitely want try and make some. My granddaughters will love them.

[@novallasuter5265]

It is unmistakably an adorable little bird.

[@annekenlon]

Thank you SO much! I don't think anyone has ever used the phrase "unmistakably" in connection with my crafts before, and I'm blushing with pride - thank you for watching!

[@fontellahenderson2016]

How darling these are. I'm going to make a flock lol. Thank you so much.

[@annekenlon]

I know you'll enjoy making yours - thanks so much for watching!

[@Frankie860]

“Trying” to get ready for church this morning and your video pops up!! Now I’m gonna be late! Had to watch it and even rewind and rewatch parts. Soooo cute. Creative. Yes! This bird will be a cute accent in junk journals. Thank you.

[@annekenlon]

Oh, my golly, I hope you were able to scoot out the door in time! I'm smiling, my mom always used to make sure we were at church SO EARLY and my dad joked that we had to arrive "when the dew is still on the pew!" Anyway, thank you for watching and have fun making these little birds!

[@debif3230]

I love their little heart tails❤

[@annekenlon]

Isn't that fun? Thanks for watching!

[@donnacarraway9182]

[@jennifermechling1272]

These birds are just adorable!!!

[@annekenlon]

Thank you, Jennifer! I've refined the process somewhat since I made this (including making the legs bend in the correct manner!) but they really do spice up a journal. Hope you make some soon, and thank you for watching!

[@PeggyTaylor-jl7yq]

Love the whimsical birds. I am doing a bird journal for a dollar tree journal challenge. Perfect to add birds like these on pockets and tags. Yayyy

[@annekenlon]

Great idea!

[@sillybeeful]

Scurrying off to make one or Many!!!! of these little cuties…. Great idea for all ages and abilities.. thank you

Thank you so much! And clearly, I didn't get them all to line up! Thanks as always, Suzy!

[@belindazimmer2107]

Oh yes they adorable birdies will bring a smile to anyone’s face young or old! I plan on making some for my 93 year old aunt in the nursing home. I’m sure it will brighten her day. Thanks for this amazing video and inspiration! 🥰

[@annekenlon]

Oh, what a joy to read this - thank you for sharing! And I am so happy you have a plan to bring a smile to your dear auntie's face!

[@robingoff322]

First time to your channel…..these birds are really cute! I love to watch Ceri, I always learn something from him. Plus, I just admire everything he creates.

[@annekenlon]

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here - and that you share my love of Ceri! He's the absolute best in every way, isn't he? Thanks for watching!

[@eloisenunez8512]

Great little birds. Turn just the bird body upside down and you’ll have a “taco” for Taco Tuesday card. 🌮

[@annekenlon]

Oh my golly, you're absolutely right!!! Thanks for the fun tip!!! I'd tear up a grocery store ad to put a little green lettuce around the edge!

[@donnahoward3694]

Lol

[@LaDonnaMorrison]

😊 Iiiib

[@pjfoltz8810]

Small feathers would look cute as tail feathers

They are adorable. 💜💜💜

[@annekenlon]

Thank you!!! Have fun making some!

[@JulieTorrens]

These little birdies are adorable! So many uses! I think for ATCs and smaller art, these could be just the ticket! 😃 Then get a cereal bowl, cut one out and you have a clever journal cover design.🐦 Thank you for a fantastic element to embellish our treasures. ❤❤❤

[@annekenlon]

What great ideas! Thanks so much, Julie! Hope you're well!

[@sheilabartlett6044]

These are definitely fun! Thanks for entertaining us!

Oh, Judi, I hope you are mass-making these little cuties at this very moment! I find myself making more all the time! Thanks so much!

[@barbaranoble9748]

Oh, yes, I 'm still here with you; had to stay and get it ALL!! Thank you, Anne, for sharing your time and creativity with us ❤️ 🤗🙏

[@annekenlon]

Judy, I'm just so glad you're here!

[@pampirtle6348]

I have doodled these kinds of birds before, but I never thought of doing them out of paper like this. This is so scrumptiously fun it does make you giggle. I think you should doodle a little worm for the bird to be going after or have it drooping out of his beak. If you were worried that something might get hung up in the mail machines you could always put a coat of mod podge over the top of your postcard after everything has been dried. I love the thought of whimsical characters for a journal. And oh talk about all of the amazing junk from the mail and magazines that could be used as well as book pages. There is a KZbinr named Natasha from Australia that has a channel named Treasure Books 📚 that you may like to look at because she loves to do some Whimsical things also and loves to make junk journals from junk instead of purchasing kits . I think I'm going to make some postcards as well as some trading cards with these little types of birds on them. I think I'm going to Doodle tail feathers, head feathers, and perhaps even wings. This is something I can do when I meet friends at the coffee shop. We like to sit and create while we visit and drink coffee once or twice a month. Do you have a Facebook page group where your subscribers could exchange ideas? I would love to see what their interpretation is for this scrummy idea as Tina from Shabby Dabby Doo Dah would say .❤😊

[@annekenlon]

Oh, I have adored Natasha from Treasure Books for several years - her ideas are always so good, and she inspires me with every video! You doodling sessions with friends sound like so much fun. No Facebook page for my channel yet, but perhaps I should do something about that! Thanks, Pam, as always!

[@FTHEANTICHRIST]

Yay for Natasha at TB!

[@jennr7500]

Well, I didn’t mind the “mess” nor the length of the video. They were “just right” to quote Goldilocks while being whimsical. Seriously, seeing the way it goes is encouraging. Sometimes I think “perfection” aka not making a mess, is a damper to my thoughts while crafting. Not that it has to represent the total chaos I experience at times! But when things are all prepped and voila … we’ll, you know. 🤭 prepped is often quite nice and the nitty gritty messiness is okay. 🤣🤪 But, what cuties! Who knew?! Someone did. Great imagination! Thank you bunches for showing us this. I now sound like a follower of the whimsical between this and the whimsy flower seed packets. Yeah, a whimsy bird on a seed packet. Good going! ❤ PS whimsy journal. Yep. Nice sound to that. And I love your whimsy houses and your depiction of your house in your … which journal?❤

[@annekenlon]

You're very kind, Jenn, thank you! Thank you, as always!

Love the birdie cowboy hat. lol

Hahahaha, isn't that funny, it does look rather cowboy-esque! I intended it just to be one of those floppy chicken crest things, but yippee-ay-oh-ki-ay, I guess!

[@Beje1022]

Oh these are soooo cute!! 😍 It would be so helpful if you could please show what the project will look like before you start the process so we will know what we are making ahead of time. Thank you so much for this tutorial 😊.

How adorable ☺️ I’m going to have to have a go at making my own version of these for my Bird Journal…it’s going to be more Vintage style but I’m sure by tweaking a few things I can make them look more “Vintage”. And then I’ll have to make some with more of the whimsical style… I have another idea for an Art Journal and I think they would look great sprinkled in there. Thanks for the idea and inspiration Anne!❤
