Upcycled Family Sign

As I have mentioned before I have decided that my bedroom needs some decoration!  So this morning I worked on a Family sign for one of our very bare naked walls.  Here is what I came up with.

I started with this old picture from our first apartment that just isn't our style anymore.

  I popped out the picture and recovered the mat board with some tan fabric.

Then I cut our a panel of brown fabric from on old dress I had. 

 Then I cut a branch from the fabric.

I glued the branch onto the tan fabric.

Then I painted wood letters and shapes cream and brown to give it that shabby chic style.

Then I Mod Podged pictures of our family to the wood shapes.  I also gave the frame a quick coat of cream paint. 

Then I popped the mat board into the frame

 and glued the words and shapes onto the glass.

Voila! 

Super cute and total cost of $0!
