I have a fun and creative craft for you today.  I’m going to show you how to make Yarn Bird Cages.   These Yarn Bird Cages are colorful decorations for all sorts of occasions, and can be made by children aged six and up.  You will simply dip yarn in flour and water and wrap around a balloon…. it is so much fun.  Kids will love dipping their yarn into the flour and water mixture.  So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
