I made this! Ornate notice board


I bought this large ornate picture frame before I bought my current flat. It fitted in with the decor of where I was then, but since I moved and decorated, and it suddenly looked all....wrong. So it lay under the bed, stored with other items I love too much to give to charity, awaiting for inspiration for me to transform it into something altogether different.




A while later I had an idea. I had some white paint left over from the kitchen make-over, and a few coats later....



And rather than using it as a picture frame, I thought it would make a nice notice board. So off to Ikea, and a Stanley knife and some glue later, I had a new notice board. I added these beauties I found in the haberdashery store - (another great find in Barnett Lawson)


Gorgeous, colourful birds with bendable wire legs for 'perching' on hats, costumes, or wherever you like - such as an ornate notice board....







Nice, no?
