Little Birdie Measuring Tape Cover with Sizzix Fluffy Bird Die

I found the Sizzix Fluffy Bird Die clearance, so I just got it (I can't resist when it is so cheap).  I didn't have any projects in my mind.  Then my hubby suggested me to use it to make a measuring tape cover.  I thought it is a brilliant idea. 

Here is the Little Birdie Measuring Tape Cover:

I used some scrap fabrics from my stash, good thing about this project is that it requires very small piece of fabrics, so I don't need to buy any fabrics, just dig through my fabric stash.  For the base, I used wool blended Felt that I got from JoAnn a while ago.   I just hand stitch the base and glue the bird on the top.

Because it looked very bland.  I dig through my embellishment and ribbon stash, I found that cute measuring tape ribbon that I bought years ago.  It matches perfectly.  For eyes, I used buttons.

I think this little Birdie Measuring Tape Cover turns out very nice!  I am glad that I found a good use for this Sizzix Fluffy Bird Die.  I think this die can make a good pin cushion, Christmas ornament, paper weights, fabric weights etc.  It is really endless.  My next project with this die will be Fabric Weights or Christmas Ornament.  I already have some ideas in my mind, I can't wait to make it.
