On my search I ventured upon these two photos.

I bought a ton of frames from the local thrift store. I removed the back from the frame and sprayed it with spray adhesive. I also grabbed some left over navy fabric.
After spraying the board I smoothed out the navy fabric over the top.
I trimmed the fabric to fit, leaving about 1/4 inch around the edge.
I spray painted the frame a glossy white and put the fabric covered board back in.
I took my silverware (also purchased from a thrift store) and slightly flattened the forks and spoons (sorry for the horrible next few pics. I had to take them in my garage).
I did 3 coats on the front and 2 coats on the back of the silverware.
Play with the layout of the silverware until you come up with something you like. I used hot glue to attach the silverware to the fabric board.
To finish of my wall I used another thrifted frame that I spray painted white. I used the same technique to attach a swatch from the Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow line into the frame.
I also love the modern word giclee print. I used photoshop to create it. Instead of printing it off at home I printed it off at Costco in a luster finish. The frame I used was another thrifted/spray painted white.
The bundt pan was also thrifted and spray painted navy.
Cost break down:
Frames: $3
Print: $1.50
Silverware: $1.50
Bundt Pan: $1.50
Spray Paint: $1
Fabric: Free
Total: $8.50
Oh, yeah. I'm cheap like that.
Love it.
