Thrifted Frame with Spoon Nest

 

Hi Friends,

This project was so simple it really doesn't

need any directions.

I  found this ornate wood frame and went ahead

and  used chalk paint to cover the gold.

Wiped off some areas with a damp cloth.

I had an idea but I wasn't sure it would work-

I bought this scrap or flooring for .25

I liked the grey color so I left it as is-

It was bigger than the frame and I was

hoping it could be cut to size.

My husband was happy to help!

I have a collection of metal odds and ends.

I found this old broom clip and

attached it to my board.

I had one spoon left from my jewelry making stash.

I thought it was interesting, It has an anchor insignia

from the U.S. Navy.

It was fairly easy to bend.

I wanted it to hold a nest.

I added a picture hook

I used wood glue to hold the 'flooring' in place.

It was nice and thick so the back is flush with the frame!

I pinched it with clips until dry.

To make the nest, I pinched together a bit of moss.

I strung 3 old pearls on a wire and twisted the end and left a long end

to wrap around the base of the spoon.

I used silver wire so it would not be seen.

The spoon sits easily in the clip.

The spoon can be changed if I like.

 I may decide

to add a small bottle later-

I hope you have a blessed day!
