Pretty Birds...

I purchased this black ornate frame from IKEA
about 2 years ago. It has been sitting in my closet this entire time.
Initially I wanted to replace the clear glass with
a mirror. Unfortunately I just haven't taken
the time to do it. I also had the idea of placing a
portrait of Miss Hannigan (cute gray cat) inside the frame.
But once again, I just haven't taken the time to do it.
So...I finally had a simple idea that took
maybe 5 minutes to complete.

I purchased the fabric at IKEA ($2.99/yard-Cecilia fabric).
I like the bird pattern because when I look at the frame
I can imagine seeing the birds outside as though
I'm peering through a window.

I used the inside paper of the frame to place as
a template on the fabric. I traced around the template
with a pencil making sure to add at least one inch extra
around the edges and...cut, cut, cut...

Almost finished...

I placed the white paper that I used as a template
behind the fabric, and then placed
the frame cardboard behind that.
I latched the little hooky things on the sides of
the frame to keep everything in place...AND

VOILA! C'est fini.
