I ripped of the backing so I could get the picture out.
This frame is going in my baby's room. The walls are three shades of green with pink assessories. I used the spray paint we had left from some other projects in her room. Dark pink first.
Followed by the light pink.
I took sand paper to some areas while the paint was still wet to get this effect.
In place of the picture I added some fun green scrapbooking paper to match the green walls. You could use fabric for this part as well. I used mounting squares, and just attached the paper to the backing that was already part of my frame.
I kept the matting frame and just turned it over. The other side was bright white - just what I needed!! Then, I added some twine for hanging my pictures.
The staples in the back of the frame were perfect for securing the twine.
Next, I added my baby clothes pins and pictures.
The "after" is so much better!! I heart garage sales!! :o)

THAT.IS.ADORABLE! This is the kind of thing that just makes me SO happy! {yay!} Can't wait to find myself a crappy framed piece of art to make my own! Also - my favorite thing right now - pink & green!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm going to attempt one too; I hope mine comes out as cute as yours :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I am going to try one, not sure how well it will turn out but I'm going to try! Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love that you used twine with the distressing so it looked rustic, but in a totally expensive, chic, designer-kind of way! : )
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I'm adding to my to do list!
