To form a handle or hanging hook for the top of your scale bird cage, take a scrap piece of covered or painted wire, just over one inch long. Fold the wire in half and form a loop at the bend. Twist the 'arms' of the wire together and trim the handle / hook to 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long.

Finish the cut ends with a bit of glue to keep the paper or thread covering from unravelling.
