Pretty little Hummingbird. . .

Yesterday, I went to the Renaissance Fair about an hour away. I came home with some pretty copper butterflies, and this adorable glass hummingbird:


I decided I was going to hang it up and found a spot, but I wasn't sure what to make a hanger out of. That's when I remembered this beading turnstile a friend gave me for my 12th birthday. 
 

No, I haven't used it yet. I tend to hoard things until I find the perfect project for them. I decided to use the green glass beads, and the red beads in the upper righthand corner.

So, I strung a few beads onto fishing line with alternating gold spacers (I'm more of a silver person, but I thought the gold brought out the bill color). I added a bent gold paper clip to use as a hanger.



 And I hung him from my vent! I don't have many hooks up in my room, but since I keep my vent closed and it's above the window anyway, I know he won't be blowing around.

Isn't he cute?
