Step 1: Materials


You will need:

38+ sheets of computer paper
black Hammered Rustolyum spray paint
clear tape
Fur-Real Friends talking parrot (or any animal of your choosing)

Step 2: The Cage


Construct the bars of the cage by rolling up 16 sheets of paper and stacking two of them together to make eight bars.

Step 3: Cage Sides


After the bars are done you need to build the sides to support the bars. I folded one sheet of paper in half twice. I did this eight times for the top and bottom of the cage.

Step 4: Cage Top and Bottom Supports


I just did the same thing as the sides but bent one end down. I did this eight times as well.

Step 5: Cage Bottom


I made the cage bottom from several unfolded sheets of paper. Anything that went over the side i folded down and taped to the side.

Step 6: Paint


I used rustoleum Hammered paint cause it makes the paper look like hammered steel.

Step 7: Final Thoughts

If I had to do it again I would use PVC pipe but right now i'm broke and all this was lying around the house so I re-purposed it.
