Begin by removing the birdcages from the black raven birdcage string lights. The cages simply pull off of each light. Be sure to remove the clear plastic piece that secures them to the light strand themselves as well. Set the lights aside to use for later projects.
Next, use painter's tape to fully cover the black ravens inside the cages, and then take the cages to a well-ventilated area to spray paint them white.
While the bird cages are drying, take the mini branch wreaths to a well-ventilated area and spray paint them black.
Next, gently remove the tape from the ravens, and then top each of the wreaths with a bird cage. Cut a few small pieces of floral wire, and then wrap it around the wreath and bottom rung of the bird cage, twisting the ends of the wire together to secure the cage to the wreath. I used two pieces of wire per cage and placed them directly across from each other.

Now place a black and gold glittered feather on top of each birdcage. Using a length of gold baker's twine, tie a name label onto each one. Cut the excess twine close to the knot so it is hidden in the next step.
Next, dress up each birdcage with a pretty red paper flower. Use hot glue to adhere the flowers onto each name label right on top of where the baker's twine is tied.
Finally, set the place cards at each spot around the dining table during your Birds of a Feather Creep Together Dinner Party as a fun way to designate seating assignments. The best part is, they double as a take-home gift to remind your guests of the fun they all had while creepin' together!
