Do you have a bunch of old picture frames sitting around your house that you no longer have pictures for? Well today I’m going to show you how to make those frames into beautiful decorations for your home. First you are going to cut a piece of card stock to fit the frame you want to use. Next comes of the fun part! You get to decorate your card stock any way you want. For my mine I wrote “Hello Summer” with glitter glue and letters cut out of decorative paper. I then painted the background with blue metallic paint and decorated the rest with glitter paper, mini craft gems and decorative stickers. But you can decorate with anything you want: paint, colored pencils, oil pastels, chalk, markers, stickers, decorative paper, pieces of fabric, stencils, rubber stamps, tissue paper, felt or doilies. Just make sure whatever you use is flat so card stock will fit into the frame. Once your card stock is fully decorated to your preference let it dry before adding to the frame. This is an important step because wet paint or glue could easily ruin the frame. After your artwork is dry add it to your frame and display it in your house. I displayed mine on my dresser surrounded by sea shells but you can hang yours on a wall or display it anyway you like. You can also create multiple pictures and change them out every few months. Since my frame is just white I plan to make a different picture for every season and certain holidays and just change them out when needed.
Hope you enjoy adding a little pizzazz to your old frame.
Creatively yours,
Colleen
