Menu and Blessings Boards

After seeing the blessings board that Julie from Less than Perfect Life of Bliss made, in addition to Stephanie from Under the Table and Dreaming 's Menu Board I got to work.

I set out to a find a oblong frame at a thrift store and found this bird photo:

I went outside to my "spray painting board" (an old piece of wood) and spray painted the frame black.

                                        

I cleaned the glass and covered the cardboard with burlap. I think a linen would be really pretty too!

                                        

I just glued it to the board with FabriTac glue.

I put all back together, added vinyl that I printed on my silhouette (or you can buy stickers), added a couple flowers (cut out circles, lay them on top of each other and  use a brad to secure them together). Then I glued the flowers on.

The brads in the center of the flower were from Joann's. The pack has gold, silver and this coppery color.

You use a wipe off marker to write on the glass, that way you can change it up.

Here are the Menu Boards I made for Christmas gifts:

The teal-ish color is Caribbean Blue spray paint by Valspar (Lowe's). The vinyl is brown to match my sis-in-law's kitchen. Jess, if you are seeing this, well, I hope you like it! I have something else for you too though that I will keep a secret. :)

 I bought these frames at Walmart for $5 but only some Walmarts have this size. I need more!  Contact me at babybreesmama at yahoo dot com if you want to order some vinyl. I can try to figure out how cheap I can do it for.
