I went and dug thru my box of old picture frames and found a thick one that coincidentally didn't have any glass. Then I grabbed 2 beat up pieces of wood from my stash pile and cut them to fit the back of the frame. I just traced around the frame and cut the wood to size. I gave the wood a quick coat of stain and once it dried I nailed them to the back of the picture frame....
Last week at a garage sale I had picked up these cute little numbers and letters inside metal rings, so I chose the number 4 for Tony's birthdate ...
And wrote his name using some of the letters, holding them in place with spiked nails. Then I used an old staple to attach the spoon to the wood. I love the wood grain, don't you?
It made for a quick and easy project. Tony was thrilled with how it turned out. It has a masculine feel to it, don't you think? It's hanging on the wall in his bedroom and his precious spoon is safe from his mother who tends to get a little fast and loose with the garbage disposal.
Linking up with....
