Dance of the pie-pan birds
Sparkling pie-pan birds dance in the wind, scaring away deer and other thieves from a country garden.
Cut pie-pans into fanciful shapes like butterflies, or flowers, or use my flying bird pattern below. Cut out pattern, and trace around it onto the back of a pie-pan with a laundry marker. Use a sturdy pair of shears to cut inside the traced lines. Punch a hole along the top edge with a nail or awl. We used glittering tinsel string to tie them to a trellis, but you can use recycled string, wire, or raffia ... download my free Flying Swallow Pattern here.
