I was in one of my favorite discount chains the other day and spotted some pictures I loved-

At $30 a pop, there was no way they were coming home with me-

so I took a few pics with my trusty phone

and started re-creating in my mind!

I am always picking up framed art at GW-not for the art but for the frames-

and with my trusty Krylon spray-

the frames are new to go!

After flipping the art over, I spray mounted some scrapbook paper from my stash-

My chalkboard vinyl was perfect for the birds and

the words would be created with "the machine"!!

I hadn't used this in awhile so I was excited to bring it back to life-

With a few cranks-it was set-

the letters popped out-

and I was good to go!!

I didn't want to use the same black vinyl for the limb

so I decided to use the real thing and spray it

and I attached it with hot glue-

the clothespins also got a quick spray

and

voila, a simple and very cheap project-

floating pictures for my screened porch!
The smaller pic- mommy and daddy bird
and
the larger is the whole flock!

The whole thing cost me a whopping $3.98-( the cost of the 2 framed "art" pieces!)

I had everything else-

Just what I love, a cute and simple project for pennies!

Well, gotta fly-Claire
