I had a small piece of this great fabric from Cicada Studio, so decided to make a fabric mat. I read these instructions, but used the mat that came with the frame, then just used spray adhesive and tape to affix the fabric to the mat. Once I made the mat, I wasn’t sure what to put in the frame that wouldn’t look too busy because the fabric is really beautiful all on its own. Then I saw these bird silhouettes (via how about orange). I used a robin for this silhouette that I made by drawing an image onto card stock and cutting it out with a craft knife.
And our five-year-old has become very interested in the different species of birds after reading this book. So she’s planning a watercolor project. We’re definitely on the bird bandwagon.
love this. i’ve been wanted some of her fabric too. this is a great idea for how to showcase it!
Wonderfully executed- I featured it on my blog, I hope you don’t mind!! 🙂
What a gorgeous idea! I’ll be linking to this in the Daily DIY. I wonder what fabric I have laying around that I could use? Hmmm…
I love this idea… I can’t wait to use it… There are times when I get so frustrated trying to find the right Mat… Wonderful 🙂
Love this idea. I think I may try it myself.
what a great idea! i can’t believe that i haven’t seen this before!
I’ve been planning on doing this for my daughter’s room for a while now. I hope they turn out as nicely as yours.
What a wonderful idea… I think I’ll try it!
This is such a great idea! I’ll definitely be stealing this 🙂
