How interesting is it to play around with a painting in the interior?

Birds made from yarn will beautifully complement any interior. You can even create an entire composition. Birds on a tree, on a branch, in a birdhouse.

You can simply take a frame, string a few strings (perches), and place your birds on them. Take bright threads, then the picture will be noticeable.

You can make a small birdhouse and add birds to it. Such a composition in the interior will not go unnoticed.

Use birdhouse templates for your painting. At the bottom of the frame, make a small ledge out of cardboard and place your little birds there.

You can decorate the wall in the nursery with a real birdhouse made of cardboard. Add a small branch ledge at the bottom and place your beautiful bird on it. Place several of these birdhouses randomly. So, you can easily dilute the interior of the room with bright elements.

Make a whole live composition on your table or windowsill. Place the toys on a branch that you can find while walking.

Or buy a small cage and artificial flowers from a craft store and create a beautiful, delicate composition.
