Nothing To Lose

I had a couple of things that didn’t work out for their intended projects.  I had a frame that I bought on clearance at Michael’s, that I covered the back in fabric and applied a vinyl on the glass.  I broke the glass when I was putting it back together.   The Nest stencil I just got recently thinking to put it on a tray, but that didn’t work out very well, so it has been waiting for another project.  I decided to pair these two up and see how they’d come out.  I figured I had nothing else to lose!

I just used regular craft paint to do the stencil.  I laid the frame over it to see how it would look.

I felt like there was a bit too much blank space on either side, so I taped off a small stripe, thinking along the lines of a faux grain sack look.

But, I had already rinsed out my stencil brush and cleaned up the paint.  So, I grabbed the next best thing that was close at hand!  Can you see it above?

Yes, a Sharpie!  I think it worked just as well.

Although, maybe I should have brought it in towards the middle a little more.  {That stripe to the right looks crooked, but I think I just have to adjust it in the frame better}.

Just need to find some place to put it now!
