While searching the Country Living website, I saw this photo…
and fell in love.
I’ve had this picture that I’ve been wanting to re-do forever,
so I figured I’d try to re-create the Country Living picture.
So I took the frame apart..
Took some old scrapbook paper, measured it to fit- and began with my plastic stencils.
{I got these at Walmart awhile back for under $3}
I took my time placing each letter and used a ruler to keep the lines straight.
I added a bird stencil {also from Walmart} at the bottom for a more country chic look.
Then, using my X-acto knife I carefully traced and popped out each letter.
{Be warned: This takes FOREVER}
Of course, I added some buttons.
I then took scrap construction paper and slid it beneath the sheet.

I even cut out strips of paper to cover the border of the frame,

And, you’re done!
Just put the picture back into your frame and enjoy!
Isn’t she lovely?
I LOVE the way it turned out, I think this may be my first nursery item ๐
