I was inspired by a new piece I saw come off the truck a few weeks ago at my favorite store *wink*wink* So I got a package of this from Lowe's.
I've been hording this piece of burlap for years... why? Frame was purchased dirt cheap because the glass was broken out of it ~ again, from that favorite store of ours..
I had this stuff already so I just cut a piece almost the exact size of the backing board which by the way really REALLY needs to be a bit smaller than original size so everything will fit.Would you look at the size of that glue stick!!!
After I glued my fluffy bit down I cut a piece of burlap slightly larger than the board so I could wrap it around and cover nicely.
Then I wrapped my painted chicken wire around that. I didn't glue that down, why bother?

Get a load of the mess I work in!
Added a decoupaged MDF bird from Mike's with a painted clothes pin attached to the back with hot glue. Bird directions: trace the back side on to the back side of scrapbook paper, cut out. Meanwhile paint what will be backside and sides of bird with paint, let dry, apply paper with Modge Podge, smoothing out, cut off excess with craft knife, sand edges for distressed look, go over entire piece again with Modge Podge, then embellish to your hearts content, hot glue clothes pin to the back of bird... Enjoy your craftiness!

Great idea Mrs. Kitty! I got lost in Hobby Lobby again yesterday. They really should have helpers for that. :-)
I'm hooked. I will be adding your blog to my favs. I love this frame and it will go perfect in my kitchen (if I can find a place to put it). I can't wait to make this.
This is fabulous! I love the chicken wire!
How adorable....I need to make one!
That little bird is so cute...Julie
darling treasure!!
Awesome! That surely looks like it came from a high end boutique! I just saw a bag of that stuff at Lowes too...
Really love this project! I am saving the picture of the finished product so I'll remember to try to make it some time soon.
This rocks! I love chicken wire and I love the little bird!
OK...now something else to add to my "to do" list for this summer!
Could your new frame be any cuter...nope!
Uh....WOW! This is awesome! I am so impressed! You did a GREAT job!

Wonderful Idea!! What a functional piece of art!! I really really like it!!
That takes some creative juices flowing! Love the little birdie accent. What a fun project!
Hey Kitty,
I came by to tell you to go read Hillbilly Woman's blog. You can find it under blogs I love to read (on my page) and the post is titled Perils of a Tiny Dog or under my followers she is on the top left corner. If you put your cursor on the block it should say rebel and take you to her blog. You will be roaring with laughter over the antics of her tiny dog and her black kitten. Lexi and I have read and re-read it and laughed and laughed. Go read it and put a smile on your face.♥ Hope you have a WONDERFUL Thursday!
What a great idea- and it worked out so well!
How "tweet"!! I love it! Great job!
Hugs,

Who knew chicken wire could look so good! Love how it turned out, where did you get the birdie shape?

Oh my gosh! That's adorable.
Oh this makes me want to tweet with happiness!
Great minds think alike ;O) I just finished a post on a bulletin board that I did that is extremely similar to yours minus the chicken wire. Definitely a great project. Great job!
I love your idea! I know it is not xmas yet but I have been thinking of how to display my cards next year. This would be perfect. I am thinking add wooden clothes pins to hold the cards (of course spray them with a bit of glitter) and voila. Sorry, I know we are months away :) annaandrose.blogspot.com
I've never seen anything like this. It is awesome! I love projects that are not only gorgeous but functional too. Thanks for posting!!
great idea!
Thanks for sharing.
blessings,
