Thankful Chicken Wire Frame

Remember our chicken wire frame we made here?  I just pulled it out to use for this Thankful Thanksgiving frame. I just spray painted it black and added a mini thankful banner.  Our family is going to add the little tags with what they are thankful for each day until Thanksgiving.  I can't wait to see what they come up with.  If you would like the tags and banner, they are available for download here!  If you don't want to make a chicken wire frame, you could also use the banner and tags on a bulletin board that you have at home.  

Did you notice the button at the top right of my blog?  I am  so excited for a giveaway I am taking part in with several other bloggers.  We are giving away a Cameo Silhouette.  I just bought one of these and used it to make several items for my daughter, Audrey's, birthday last week.  You will love it.   The giveaway opens November 16th!

Make It Monday- Chicken Wire Display Frame

Getting my kids ready to start school tomorrow has made me really excited for all the holidays between now and the end of the year.  The vacation is over and it's time start crafting again!  I love this little vintage frame and have a lot of different things planned for it's use this fall.  It's usefulness goes way beyond a candy display board!  The possibilities are endless.

Supplies-
any frame and size- I reused one that I had
spray paint in your color of choice
poultry netting (chicken wire from Home Depot)
wire cutters
hot glue gun
ribbon (optional)

Spray paint your frame.

Cut the chicken so that it fits securely in the back of your frame.  You will then need to flatten the wire. It bends very easily.  I placed in under books for a few hours and then worked it with my hands.

One the back side of the frame, glue down one side of the wire with your hot glue gun.  Wait for the glue to harden.  Once it's secure, you will be able to pull the rest the wire taunt and then secure to the other sides of the frame.  Attach ribbon to each side of the frame if desired.

Make this now so you're prepared:)  Off to a great week of school for my little ones!
