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!

Great project! Very resourceful to use what you had. The framed "nest" stencil looks like a silhouette.

Now that's a great example of turning lemons into lemonade! It turned out really cute! I love Sharpies. I've used them on drop cloth material and also on burlap. They work great! Have a happy weekend.
