I wanted to create a very simple spring element to place on my fireplace mantel. I seem to have a thing for birds right now so I decided to do a bird silhouette on burlap.
The project was very simple and extremely cheap! I paid $1 for the wooden bird. Everything else I had - black paint, burlap, frame & white spray paint.
Once I painted the black frame a nice bright white, I placed a piece of burlap inside. I chose not to glue the burlap since I am hoping to use this frame for other decorative elements as I change things for the seasons. Along the same lines I didn't glue the bird to the burlap I just pinned it so that I can use it somewhere else if I choose.
I love how such a simple project has such an impact on my spring decor!
