How to:
Start by punching holes in canvas (I used my Power Puncher to do this).
Coat canvas with Mod Podge and attach ribbon .
Create a vintage or worn look to your photo by using sand paper on it.
Place photo onto Mod Podge covered canvas and use a brayer to roll out air bubbles.
While glue is drying  flatten spoon with a raw hide mandrel and then use a chasing hammer to texture it.
Once spoon is flattened  punch the holes (I used my Power Puncher).
Glue metal letters EGGS and vintage button onto canvas using E-6000 glue.
Distress sides/corners of canvas using Distress Ink.
Attach chain to copper wire and then adhere spoon to canvas threading wire through spoon holes....
