Bird-i-ful New Art

As I mentioned in previous posts, I have been in the process of redoing my Master bedroom.  As the redo has been progressing I have been wanting some new art for two small walls on either side of the bathroom.  While the room has been evolving, it has taken on a very vintagey feel and I wanted something that reminded me of the outdoors but had that vintage look too.

I had some old frames and decided to use those to create some new art instead of buying something new.  I love birds so wanted to incorporate those somehow as well.  After I had decided that the art in the frames would be simple and nature oriented I just needed to gather the supplies and get a stencil for the birds.I chose three frames, all rectangle, but yet all a little different.  I really enjoy when groupings are similar in some way to tie them together yet different enough to add charm and character.  For the birds, I found a Martha Stewart stencil that I thought would be perfect and picked up some burlap to use as the backdrop for the art.

To make the art, I cut a piece of burlap to fit in each of the frames and taped it down to my table.  I then used some black paint and stencilled some birds and branches onto the burlap.  Once the paint was dry, I mounted the burlap inside of the frames and had my brand new art!  For under $10 I recreated some frames and have some new art for my bedroom that turned out even better than I could have imagined!I love, love, love ♥ my new art!
