Bird’s Nest Picture Frame

I recently started cleaning and organizing my craft closet. That is when I discovered that I owned a bunch of unused picture frames. For some reason, I like to buy picture frames when I visit dollar stores. I also found some faux bird’s nests I purchased during the Easter holiday that I never used. Being the crafty lady that I am, I decided to do a fun project where I combined the frames and nests. The combination turned into beautiful wall art.

2. Paint the frames with chalk paint. Set them aside to dry. I only used about one coat of paint to give the frames a more distressed look.

3. Cut the scrapbook paper to fit inside the frames, and then put the picture frames back together without the glass.
