I finally finished the nursery art for the door to my son's nursery! I added a bit more embroidery by putting some french knots in a teal color between the running stitches in dark blue and brown. Once I finished with the embroidery I framed it. The frame was from the Salvation army store. It was an ugly color, but I liked the lines of it and the price (99 cents) so I painted it, pulled the old artwork out, and replaced it with my own. Then I attached ribbon to the sides of the top and covered the ends of the ribbon by gluing on buttons. It's not perfect, but I like it. This was a very affordable project. Being able to utilize ribbon and buttons leftover from other projects helped me keep costs down even more.
