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.
