Fun Wall Art & The Sale!

Happy Tuesday guys!!

I want to share a fun wall art project with you guys!  I made these for the older girls' room but I think I may be making some more for mine as well... I love them.

I have 2 blank spaces next to their window that were begging for some love.  I found the branches and birds and that became my inspiration for this project.

I started with some scrap 1x12 I had from some of my latest projects.  These were about 24" long.

I'm kind of into stain at the moment so that's just what I did... Dark Mahogany.

While those were drying I started working on the cute stuff.

I used my Silhouette to cut shapes out.  I found the birds and branches on the Silhouette software and cut it out using the machine.  There is nothing better than shopping from the comfort of my computer chair.

I used Silhouette's Premium Vinyl for these birdies and branches.

Once the machine cut it, I peeled the extras off first.

Then, I used the transfer paper to attach it to my wood.  This is my first time to use the transfer paper and I LOVE it.  I usually try the old peel and stick method but I knew that wouldn't work with all the details.  

You just peel the transfer paper off.... So easy!

I had originally planned on being done at this point but I thought it needed a little extra something.  I remembered some cream flowers I had from making the baby some headbands. 

Pulled out the glue gun...

And started attaching.

I had to cover up my holes so I used some extra pearly buttons and hot glued them too.

I found these great hooks in the garden section at Hobby Lobby for 1/2 off... Whoop!

I drilled a couple holes in each one, added some twine, and hung them up.... Well, actually I only got one up.

The babies were not enjoying this project as much as I was.  I did manage to get one up to show you though :-)

Hope you like it!
