I have to say that this is one of my favorite things that I have made. I love how it turned out and I love the saying.
I started by going out in the backyard and picking up some sticks. I got a good bit of them and then placed them down around the frame to make sure they were the right size and lined up.
I then went outside and spray painted the branches white. I had to spray one side and then flip them over after they dried and spray the other side.
Next, I hot glued the branches around the outside of the frame.
I used Simply Charmed to cut a little bird for the corner. I attached it to the front glass of the frame with pop dots.
For the inside of the frame, I printed a brown square with white letters using the font BarenhandFashion. Here is a picture of it hanging on the wall.
