My Newest Creation!

A New Project

I have all these frames and I needed a new project.

I knew some would be chalk boards, 

but these were going to be something different!

Of course these are for photos, 

but I used them to display some vintage jewelry!

I apologize for the photos, I can't wait to get a new camera : (

I picked two of these up at a tag sale, for cheap $

They were on the gold-ish side, 

so I dry brushed them with white paint.

I first cut a piece of thin plywood to size, these were 11x14.  

I needed to shave a little off because my materials 

wouldn't fit once I put it back in the frame. 

(Make sure you leave a little room for materials, 

but not too much, you want things to be snug)

I cut a piece of batting and some fabric about an extra 

1/2 inch all away around, I did the same with the fencing. 

Everything was held into place once 

I bent the edges of the fencing around the board.

Once it was in the frame, I stapled the board to the frame in a 

few spots (around the back), just to make sure it stays put! 

Then I cut a piece of pretty wallpaper from one of my wallpaper 

sample books and glued it to the back (with a glue stick)!

I found these cute little clothes pins to attach the photos with!

Here's the other one I did, again the picture isn't great.

I have already sold them both, so I guess they are a success!

Time to make some more!

Thanks for checking it out!
